There’s a new huggable, feathery friend at the Pacific Islands Club. The resort welcomed its newest mascot, Sandy, who hatched in time for spring! Sandy, a Sihek or Saipan Kingfisher, is the newest member of the PIC family and is sister to the world-famous Siheky, who has been bringing smiles to PIC guests since 2017.
“Our mascot Siheki’s younger sister Sandy has come to PIC Saipan! The harmonious sisters will help build a family bond through direct communication with children, and we can expect PIC Saipan to become more family-friendly,” said Dennis Seo, general manager of PIC Saipan.
PIC welcomed the addition of Sandy to better promote inclusion, cultural diversity, and preservation as part of its brand expansion to appeal to a larger audience while also honoring rich cultural heritage and unique wildlife. PIC is known as a family-friendly resort and tropical playground for kids of all ages. Together, the brother-sister duo will offer guests opportunities to learn more about the Sihek bird and the importance of close familial bonds.
PIC introduced its Siheky mascot as part of its commitment to promote awareness of the nearly extinct Kingfisher and support conservation efforts to protect region’s unique ecosystem.
Sandy is known for her gentle and caring nature, especially towards her brother and PIC family. As Siheky’s sister, she has the same traits of friendliness and curiosity with an innate sense of adventure. Her unique personality is a perfect mix of playfulness, curiosity, and mischief, which promises guests new and exciting experiences at PIC.
Guests will have plenty of opportunities to engage with Sandy and Siheky with daily meetups at 9:15 a.m. at PIC’s Magellan Restaurant. Sandy and Siheky also participate throughout the resort’s interactive kids’ programs — the PIC Kids English Academy, Kids Club.
