Is it a good idea to play voice memos of my voice to my bird

I am leaving for 4 days soon. My budgie pepper will be taken care of, but I don’t want her to get sad while I’m away. Do you think it would be a good idea to play videos of me talking and saying her name when she chirps and squawks for me?

I think i would do that. Sometimes ill talk to my birds through their camera during the day when im not home.

Thanks. I was just hoping it wouldn’t make her frustrated since I wouldn’t actually be there

I think she will be happy as long as someone else is interacting with her.

I’d not do so unless it was live. You don’t want anyone confused.

Okay, thank you. She squawks when people enter the room when im gone, she gets mad pretty easy

I did that when I had to travel for a week.
I left a picture in the cage for Tweety. It was a selfie with him in the background.
I also left my desktop powered on so it can run things at certain times. At different times on different days, it would play some soft music, bird chirpings, jazz, or Christian rock.
At the same time every night was a prerecorded video I did. Was about a minute long of me talking to him. He was able to see the video pop up, see my ugly mug, and hear my voice.
Since my desktop was also on for the week, I had remote access into it so I can see him via the webcam I had pointed in his direction from the desk.
Did it do anything overall? No idea. My bird is like a cat. Just wants to be fed and not bother with me. Did it make me feel good doing it? Yes.
