Do hummingbirds count?
And it was not quite out-of-HAND feeding.
The head of the Southwest Desert Research Station in
Portal Arizona used to feed hummingbirds out of his
mouth!
He would fill his mouth with sugar water, put on
bright red lipstick, and stand near the regular
hummingbird feeders. Very soon, a hummingbird would
come along and take a drink from his open mouth.
Of course, the regular contingent of hummingbirds at
the feeders was probably about 100 hummers of at least
5 species. So there was lots of competition for
feeder space!
