Hi Gina
I had a Swainson that I loved very much. I know they are messy but he was
the most beautiful bird I ever saw. Very playful and loving until "he" laid an
egg. LOL She then became very terretorial of her cage and to the point
where I could not touch her at all anymore. She bit everyone. I finaly gave
her back to the breeder.Where she became a Mom. I still miss her. I got her
food from cuddlebone plus in California. They do need the powder and the
nectar and fresh fruit. His website is on upatsix. Mine used to lay on her
back and wresteled with my hand like a cat. Good luck with him or her.
