Tell me more!

Lorikeet owners! All i hear about them is that they are messy which has always put me off looking into them any further. Anyhow they have been among the species of birds i have been offered recently so i thought i would learn a little more about them before writing them off completely.
Pros and Cons? What do you do to deal with the supposed mess? They seem to be for sale all over the place here! I have also heard they can be quite nippy and moody...
I will continue to have a google about them but any first hand knowledge is appreciated =D
