I don't know much about lories, but keep my budgies and finches in separate flights. Their energy levels are just a little too different (though they love watching each other).

I would not do it. Lories can be aggressive to smaller birds without warning. My lory almost killed my tiel out of the blue and it cost me a big vet bill, and cost my tiel a great amount of pain. Maybe it would depend on the species of lory though. What kind of lories?

I agree with LGood22573, my lori was very nice to my IRN and my sun conure till one day i discovered blood on the perches, come to find out my lori bit my ringnecks feet and injured my sun conures tigh area, they also require diffrent diets, if your lori gets to the budgie seed it will be trouble with the digestive system.

It is advised to always keep lorikeets and lories seperate from any other species due to their aggressive natures and specialised diet. Lorikeets eating seeds can cause many problems, lower the lifespan and such :(
Also, if you're planning on breeding- it might not happen because the smaller species won't feel safe with such a large competitor constantly around the nest site. The lorikeets may also kill the eggs or babies which is devastating!
If it's your only aviary I'd say to just leave it, but if you have another I'd seperate them.
When I was around ten my mum bought me an aviary (I had a large collection of caged birds and she thought they would love some flying room!) I had one rainbow lorikeet, two cockatiels, three budgies and two quails to let roam! They all got along relatively well- the lorikeet was very bossy and dominated the nest box area and ate some seed though. Soon I got some finches as well! hehe. In the end, the budgies successfully bred and had three babies and the finches only managed egg laying. The cockatiels never bred and the lorikeet spent his time looking in all the nest boxes but never doing anything! I may have just been lucky. It all depends on the birds. Mine were all pretty mellow :D
