lol! IMO the minor downsides (poo/specialist diet, LOUD voice) does not even do a thing to put me off them as their personalities more than make up for it. They are fantastic companions. And i was told a little trick by a well known lory breeder - just make the nectar up thicker, like a paste, and then you dont get the very watery poo! Makes things much more managable lol I find seed all over the carpet more work

But, good news!! 4 babies now hatched - all looking healthy at the moment!
