Gwayo bird

The gwayo bird was a bird native to the homeworld of Sakiyan bounty hunter Djas Puhr. The bird's eggs were considered a delicacy.^[1]

In 0 BBY, Han Solo smuggled a gwayo bird egg to Tatooine for Djas Puhr, his acquaintance, flaunting Imperial import-export regulations in the process. He risked strict legal penalty in choosing to not jettison the egg along with the rest of his illicit cargo, a fact that Puhr much appreciated upon receiving the egg.^[1]

Beyond the culinary use of the gwayo bird egg, the bird's meat was also edible. Gwayo meat was used in the dish Fried Sakiyan Gwayo with Herb-roasted Topato, sold at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo in Black Spire Outpost on the Outer Rim planet Batuu^[2] in 34 ABY.^[3] The restaurant also sold the Temple Rootleaf and Moss Salad, which could be served with a marinated, soft-boiled gwayo egg.^[4]
