For those of you who don't know me I have 2 rainbow lorikeets. Olly who's about 10months old and Pip who is 4 months old. These guys are personality plus. Olly is an incredible mimic, Pip still hasn't found his voice yet (and I'm not complaining). The comment I most hear about these guys is the mess. Yes, they are messy and it's something you need to keep on top of. I've had budgies who seem to be able to spread their seed mess further though.
IMO if you want a medium size bird (130gm average weight) full of personality, colour and fun, and you are willing to clean daily around their cage, you can't go wrong with a lorikeet.
