Ohh, mine LOVE singing, humming, dancing, Woo-hoo!ing, it is all good. As far as reading goes, I do actually. Not just whatever book I am reading, but jsut about anything; we read and discuss all, no topics are off the table! Remarkably, they do quite well with this; I think it is sweet how much they put up with from me! Must be the food.... :hehe:

I read to Pepe mostly, because he comes down and listens politely, and I usually stop and say "are you listening?" and he goes "peep!" back.

Pepe likes kiddy stories, we've gotten through Alice's adventures in wonderland, and we're half way through Winnie the Pooh :p

We tried Pride and Prejudice but it didn't go down well:lol:

The budgies just fall asleep
