Lories are wonderful birds. I have not met a bird yet that can out play a lory. When I had my green nape, he would play in his cage and roll around on the bottom of the cage with a toy in each foot.
Lories do have what I refer to as jet propelled poop - they can squirt it almost completely across the room. THeir diet is also very specialized; it is very easy for them to get iron storage disease. It also does not help that trying to find lory powder in the pet store. Most lories do not do well with a pelleted diet.
My lory was like a dog and would follow me around all over the place - I had to put him up when I was trying to do something so I would not step on him.
Lories are definitely not for everyone, but if you can deal with mess all over your walls and on the floor, a highly specialized diet and a bird that is on uppers 24/7 then you will really enjoy them.
I know I would love to get another some day.
