Re: size, lories range from the tiny Wilhelmina's Lorikeet Charmosyna wilhelminae 5" (13cm) to the small amazon sized Yellow-streaked Lory Chalcopsitta sintillata sintillata and the Duivenbode's Lory C. duivenbodei duivenbodei at 12" (30cm).
Lories have also been found to be susceptible to hemochromatosis (iron storage disease) and for that reason I would not offer raisins or other high iron content fruits.
