Hi. My 2 hand fed IRNs are about 2-2.5 months old now. I want them to learn to talk, but most of the day I am not home and they are alone. When I am home, I talk to them and play music and they seem to like it. Do you think I should leave the TV or radio on whenever i'm not home? Will it help them learn? They make new noises whenever music is played. Thank you

i personally myself wouldnt do that, i would just do the talking when im home and letting him out, my boy talks fine but has always had someone home.

Others will prob say leaving a tv or radio on is fine, the only problem i have is you cant montior what words s/he learns.

we leave the radio on if we are out for a good few hours. theres usually somebody home though so its rare for Spit to be left on his own. i find he doesnt have much of a temper tantrum when we come home if the radios been on. i dont think hes learnt anything from it though. he just chirps away to some of the songs or screams at the people talking

if we are going to be out at 3pm on a weekday we leave the telly on because kierons temper tantrum if he misses judgejudy is just too much toture for my ears

:twisted:

I tried having the radio or the cd on but he got stressed, so now he just talks to me or the guíneapigs.
This morning I woke up because he was screaming and I was afraid that I had left one of my cats inside his room.
But he was angry because the guineapigs had eaten all of their food so he couldn´t steel anything from them

.
He has scared my cats so much that they wont go in the room unless I´m there :shock:
