Siheky's Location
Siheky is based on the Micronesian Kingfisher which can be found on the
island of Guam. Guam is situated in the Pacific Ocean near to Hong Kong
and Japan.
The Guam Micronesian Kingfisher nests and feeds primarily in mature limestone
forest, mixed woodland, second growth stands, and to a lesser degree in
the scrub forests of the northern plateau. It was also found in coastal
strand vegetation containing coconut palm as well as riparian habitat. The
kingfisher is one of the few native birds that perches on powerlines or
telephone poles adjacent to forest areas.
The Kingfisher feeds entirely on animal matter including lizards, skinks
and geckos, insects, anelids and small crustaceans.
The kingfisher is a very deliberate forager, typically perching motionless
on exposed perches in large trees that have good views of the ground below
from which it swoops down to capture it's prey.
