I reluctantly admit that I have purchased no fewer than 6 other hummingbird feeders this year. I recently purchased these particular feeders to replace a different product that was also marketed as a handheld hummingbird feeder - the other feeder didn't even attract bees, let alone hummingbirds. I ordered these to give hand-feeding another try... I haven't actually attempted feeding the hummingbirds by hand yet, but I'm getting a lot of enjoyment out of these feeders already. I stuck several of the feeders to my window to get the birds used to eating out of them. They found the feeders immediately, and now I can watch them come right up to my window to feed. The best part about watching them this way is that I get to see their little silvery tongues flick around when they pull back from eating. It's also actually really helpful to have multiple small feeders this late in the season based on how territorial the hummingbirds become over the other feeders (I'm not sure why a feeder needs 8-10 feeding ports when hummingbirds just chase others away). They're constantly dive-bombing each other around the larger feeders... it's like watching Top Gun being played out by hummingbirds (which is actually pretty entertaining when you play the song "Danger Zone" in the background). But now at least they all have more opportunities to eat without being chased away. I'm really happy with these just as suction-window feeders. If I can actually get a hummingbird to eat out of my hand, that will be a huge bonus, and these deserve 6 stars. Even if the hand feeding doesn't work for me, I'd still be happy with this purchase. It's a low-risk/high-reward purchase - which is exactly what I was looking for.
Update: After one day of letting the birds get used to eating from the feeders (stuck to the window), I attempted feeding them by hand. I set up a camping chair near where the feeders normally are (so that I could easily sit still while holding the feeders), and I removed/hid the other feeders. The hummingbirds zoomed around looking in the usual places for the feeders, and after about 10 minutes or so, one of them finally came and ate out of my hand! It was incredible - and the speed of their wings flapping makes your hand cold! They ate out of my hand about 6 times over the course of 30-40 minutes. After eating, one of them hovered near me and chirped at me.. I got the sense that it was scolding me for taking away their normal feeders. It was pretty funny. A few days later, my mom came over, and she got one to eat out of her hand, as well. I think the trick is to hide the other feeders, but also try to feed them during busier feeding times. I did it early evening when they normally eat a lot, and that was pretty successful. My mom fed them mid-day, when they're usually quiet around here, and she only had one visitor.
There's a chance that this is the best money I've ever spent.

The feeder works great. holder doesn't stick very well
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2021
Good product overall, it's very easy to clean with the included cleaning brushes.I took these out to my family cabin along with a holder for three of them that I 3D printed so I could hang them like a normal feeder, (NOTE: the holder in the picture is not included in the package, I made it myself) I used 2:1 nectar in the hand feeders as an incentive for the hummers (I normally use 4:1) and wore a red shirt while standing nearby so the hummers could find it and get used to me being there.Once they were feeding from the mounted feeders I tried holding one of these feeders while standing very still and they were soon checking it out between chasing one another away. Eventually one of them managed to feed from my hand. It was very rewarding to see the little beauties up close like that. After that, the birds were way more tolerant of my presence as long as I wore red.The mounts included with the feeders are not the best, but there's no reason you can't make your own mounting solution. The suction cups seem prone to falling off, though I was able to remedy this by smearing a tiny amount of dish soap around the edge of the cup before sticking it to a surface. I did notice that the birds were unable to drink from the feeders while perching on themOh, and for the smart-aleck asking why I didn't just 3D print my own feeders, It turns out that typical PLA filament is not food safe. I didn't want to risk harming the hummers so I got this product.

Ok.. these are supposed to be attached to your window... but I wanted to hold them in my hand and see if hummers would feed from them. Worked really well and fast. After serious looking at me at very close range, within a foot of my face, they decided I was "ok" and buzzed in for a feed. Pack of 5. All plastic. Twist on/off tops with suction cups and little edge on the opposite side of suction cup. Also comes with red beads to hang from the little feeders... not really sure why... ? But I'm not using them anyway. I live right on the ocean front and was holding this feeder while my main feeder was still up about 5 feet away. I wanted to see if they would take the riskier hand feeder even while other feeder was still up and they did! Really fun. Make sure to use homemade nectar - commercial stuff contains colors and/or preservatives that are toxic to hummers! I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful and never accept compensation of any kind for my reviews.
