What do you all think about setting up a small tv or monitor with some kids shows on a loop when out of the house. I know some people do this for their fids while they're at work. I thought it might be good for Lada while I'm at the office. Thoughts?

I use the radio, similar concept. My birds tend to have more startles from the TV than the radio though so I don't do the TV much for them anymore.

It really depends on the bird.
Eloy did have one smaller laptop that I was showing him some movies on when I was away. After 2 hrs the laptop shut down it self.
But I did monitor him to see if he liked that or not in the beginning.
He also had a radio that he enjoyed.

Today when I have two birds in the same room I only use the radio.

I used a station on satelite tv, but just like Eloy, it would shut down after a couple of hours. I started relying on a radio.

Like @Mizzely, the actual tv flashes proved disturbing, so I locate a radio centrally and make sure they all hear it.
I guess it depends on your birds, what video you choose and your device's duration.

Currently I just play some soft piano music from a Google Home while I am away, but I thought some kids TV might mix things up a bit.
