Hmm... Cranberries are an Irish fruit, less literally speaking.  While juniper has berries, it's more useful for gin than anything else.

It might have been a slight tactical error to use that first clue (funny as it is) as the first clue...
Perhaps if you consider Clues 3 and 4 first and then add in clues 1 and 2...

If I just remember how the clues were numbered or wouldn't be too lazy to look it up.
You mother was a ham(p)ster and you father smelled like elderberries!

Thank you Quasi, I was beginning to realise I may have lead peole astray by being a bit too cryptic.  I hope everyone gets a laugh when we finally get there.  To summarise the clues:

Clue 1) Irish fruit This is a clue about the word itself, not about the thing that the word names

Clue 2) Small jumper This says something about the thing named by the word

Clue 3) Four syllables in the name of this group of animals The word is not a collective noun

Clue 4) The biggest member of the biggest group is red, but this is the smallest group. This group is part of a more widely recognised group that has more or less three sub-groups, this is the smallest of the three sub groups in terms of the animal size.  Generally people do not distinguish between the members of the target group and simply call them all by the group name that we are trying to find.

Clue 5) These animals are found in Australia
