Guess Cricket’s Gender!

We’re getting ready to celebrate another avian ambassador milestone—Cricket the Burrowing Owl is turning one year old this July! At this age, Burrowing Owls typically reach sexual maturity, and our education team has started observing some fascinating breeding behaviors from Cricket—like hooting, resource dominance, and more.
