Cricket was found by a rehab center in Northern California in 2016 as a juvenile and was showing signs of having been imprinted on people. They deemed that she would not be able to survive on her own and she became a part of a small education program at another facility. When that center closed down in 2018, she was in need of a new home. That new home was at the Chintimini Wildlife Center! Cricket is a very feisty bird and she loves playing with sticks. Her new favorite pastime is  ‘stickboarding’ – her version of skateboarding- on her perches!
