PIC’s mascot, Siheky, is a caricature of the nearly extinct Micronesian Kingfisher from the island of Guam. Siheky is a name derived from an old `fable` which tells of a village woman who always talked loudly and made trouble. The taotaomo’na then turned her into the first `sihek`...!

Here at PIC, our goal is to preserve and increase awareness for this species by creating a mascot that not only serves as an iconic symbol, but also creates familiarity with the near extinct bird.

As of June 2003, 60 sihek survive in captivity in 11 institutions within the continental United States, and 3 were recently transferred to a new facility on Guam. The sihek has a recovery priority number of 3 on a scale of 1 (highest) to 18 (lowest), reflecting a high degree of threat, strong prospects for recovery, and its taxonomic status as a subspecies.
