Lolita’s Personality
Macaws make wonderful companion birds. They are intelligent and affectionate. These birds are ideally suited to families with a range of members.

They should spend at least 2 to 3 hours every day outside to stimulate their minds and get physical exercise. They enjoy playing games, experimenting with tricks and listening to music. They enjoy visiting playgrounds and parks as well as local restaurants and bars. Apart from being a fun pet they also make loving companions for children.
These birds can be very loud, despite their affection for them. They can also be a nuisance for those living nearby. They can be heard making ear-shattering calls and screech-calls, which can be a nuisance in condos and apartments or in close proximity to children who might be scared by their roar.

Like all pets, Blue and Gold Macaws require training to master commands, phrases and tricks. This isn't a simple process, and it is crucial that the owner is patient and realizes that this is not something to be undertaken lightly. Positive reinforcement can help accelerate the process and correct any behavioral issues.
Lolita's care
For a long time activists have been lobbying for the release of Lolita from performing tricks at Miami Seaquarium and relocation to an open sea pen. After the 1993 blockbuster film Free Willy stirred public outrage over orca Keiko's reintegration into the wild, marine biologists hoped that Lolita might suffer the same fate. Sadly, she never had the chance to go back to the sea.
The captors of Lolita, referred to as the Dolphin Company, have ignored veterinary recommendations and continued to put her in danger. They harm her health by forcing her to perform for tourists, putting too much stress on her with high-speed circles and head-first dives that expose her to chlorine, causing her to lose weight and weakening her immune system. Additionally, they place her in an incredibly small tank that is less than one-and-a half times the size of her natural habitat.
Fortunately, in 2022, the new owner of Miami Seaquarium pledged to work with an organization of Lolita advocates known as Friends of Toki and the Lummi tribe who consider her a relative and plan to eventually move her to the open water. The plan included a sanctuary pen in Washington's westcoast where she could live for the remaining days, receive human care, and be monitored by scientists. The sanctuary pen was planned to be hundreds of times larger than her Miami home and be surrounded by ocean, not concrete tanks.
If the plan had gone through, Lolita (also known as Tokitae or Toki) might still be alive today. In the wild killer whales are highly social animals who bond with family members until they die. Lolita, who has lived in a solitary space at Seaquarium in a cage for 40 years, is being released into the wild. Many activists across the country, including Ric O'Barry (former Flipper trainer), Empty The Tanks and Orca Network have demanded her retirement from Seaquarium's stage, and her eventual release into the wild.
