We did ! This was in the Lorikeet bit at Chessington and if you buy a little pot of nectar, they come and sit on your arm to drink it. £2 for a tiny pot is a bit excessive but it was a unique experience for the kids ! :)
I'm from the borough where Chessington is but the last time I went there it was still called Chessington Zoo! What a beautiful and colourful bird. I didn't realise they still had animals there.
