I leave my tv on timer.My fids can see out Windows so they are entertained that way also. Your fid learns words from repetition. But you do understand this doesn't mean they will speak human. Mozart my CAG grey,23years old, decided he won't used human words. When he was young used avocabulary of maybe a 150 words.After we moved to New home stopped. He loves to imitate every appliance ,alarm birds dogs you name sometimes he'll mumble or whisper. My severe macaw has several human words, mostly I'm a pretty girl. Or brat lol I really shouldn't call her that.
