Lolita the Blue and Gold Macaw The blue-and-gold macaw is an exquisite bird that is known for its stunning visual appeal. Its friendly personality makes it a great companion for families. It is also extremely adept in its interactions and is quick to learn new words and tricks. Pteri our blue-and gold macaw will greet water, apples and a lot more. They can live for over 50 years. Lolita's Personality Macaws are a great companion bird. They are incredibly affectionate and intelligent. These birds are ideally suited to families with a variety of members. They can get bored easily and find different ways to entertain themselves if their owners do not interact with them enough. If they are not socialized properly macaws can become aggressive and can even bite. It is crucial to have clear boundaries set so the macaw does not feel threatened. Blue and Gold Macaws, in general are active birds who enjoy playing, interacting, and climb. They need to spend at least 2 to 3-hours each day in the outdoors to stimulate their minds and get physical exercise. They love playing games, experimenting with tricks and listening to music. They also love going to parks and playgrounds while hiking, and also visiting local bars and restaurants. Apart from being a fun pet they also make wonderful pets for children. These birds can be very loud, despite their adoration for their mate. Pixie mini macaw can also be a nuisance to those living nearby. They can make ear-shattering calls and screeches which could be disruptive for those who live in apartments or condos. Another intriguing characteristic of this particular species is that it is monomorphic which means that males and females are hard to distinguish. Due to this, the only way to determine sex is through DNA testing. Once sex is established pairing of the birds can be attempted and breeding may begin. Blue and Gold Macaws, like all pets, require training to learn commands and phrases. This isn't a simple process, and it's essential that the pet's owner is patient and realizes that this isn't something to be undertaken lightly. Positive reinforcement can accelerate the process and can help to correct any behavioral issues. Lolita's care Since the 1960s, activists have pleaded for Lolita to retire from performing tricks at Miami Seaquarium. They also have urged her to be relocated into an open-water pen. After the 1993 hit movie Free Willy stirred public outrage over orca Keiko's reintegration back into the wild, activists and marine biologists hoped Lolita might have a similar fate. Sadly, she never had the chance to return to the ocean. Lolita's captors, known as the Dolphin Company, have ignored veterinary recommendations and continued to put her at risk. They sabotage her health by requiring her to perform for tourists, putting too much stress on her by putting her through head-first dives that expose her to chlorine, making her lose weight and weakening her immune system. They also place her in a tank that is one-and-a half times smaller than her natural habitat. In 2022, the new owner of Miami Seaquarium, who calls Lolita an aunt of theirs, pledged to work on a plan with a group of Lolita supporters called Friends of Toki, and the Lummi Tribe, to move her to eventually open water. The plan included a facility on the west coast of Washington where she could live the remainder of her life receiving human care and be monitored by scientists. The sanctuary pen will be hundreds of times larger than her Miami home and surrounded by the ocean and not an empty concrete tank. If the plan had gone through, Lolita (also known as Tokitae or Toki) might still be alive today. In the wild, killer whales are social animals who bond with their family members until death. Lolita has lived isolated at Seaquarium for over 40 years. People from all over the country have called for Lolita's departure from Seaquarium and eventual release in the wild. The activists include Ric O'Barry who was a former Flipper trainer, Empty The Tanks, and Orca Network. Lolita's Training Our Macaws are smart and playful. They can bring joy to your daily life.

Lolita's Diet As is the case with any animal species in captivity, a captive blue and gold macaw's health is dependent on a healthy diet. These beautiful birds need high-quality food items, and lots of fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. In captivity, a macaw well-fed can expect to live for up to 60 years. Additionally, this magnificent bird requires plenty of room to fly around and exercise. A blue and golden macaw is a charming companion that is also intelligent. They are well-known for their ability to master new tricks and phrases quickly. This bird is perfect for those who are just beginning their journey to the avian species. In addition the bird needs lots of interaction and will bond with her human family members quickly. Macaws of gold and blue often have loud vocalizations, including “flock calls,” which is part of their normal behavior. They can also squabble and chew on their food at times, especially when they are angry or bored. It is crucial for potential pet owners to keep in mind that this kind of behavior is normal and should be expected. The Miami Seaquarium has released a series of updates on Lolita's health and condition, but questions remain. Some experts, such as Akromas who was a trainer or supervised the care of Lolita at some point, have raised concerns about her diet. The most recent update on the Friends of Lolita website states that she is eating more than 115 pounds of salmon herring, capelin, and squid per day. Miami Seaquarium, and in particular Lolita has been critiqued for the quality of the food they feed killer whales. The 57-year-old orca was taken from Puget Sound in 1970, and despite being endangered in the wild, she is in an aquarium that many consider too small for her. Lolita's Health Lolita is gorgeous, but her health is declining. Animal welfare groups have expressed concerns about her and want to see that she is returned to the wild. Lolita has been living at the Miami Seaquarium since 1970 and has been a tourist attraction for decades. She has battled chronic illnesses and a debilitating disease that has left her in a fragile state. The Miami Seaquarium is now owned by the Dolphin Company, has not disclosed information about Lolita's current state of health. Friends of Toki, a non-profit group, has posted monthly updates on her health and well-being on their website. These show that she is ageing quickly and her health is declining. It is unclear what specific health issues are plaguing the orca, since her captor is not obliged to disclose the information. The Orca Project created a repository of necropsies collected from Sea World. This shows that kidney disease often plays an integral part in the deaths of orcas in captivity. Despite these ongoing health concerns there is a lot of hope that Lolita may be closer to living in the wild than before. The new owner of the Seaquarium has pledged to removing the whale of her tank and into her natural habitat in the Pacific. The move comes following years of public pressure and demands, including from PETA and PETA, to have the Miami Seaquarium release Lolita into an ocean-side sanctuary where she can swim in the ocean and perhaps even meet the orca believed to be her mother. Unfortunately the plans came too late for the beloved whale who died on Friday of what was believed to be a kidney issue.
