Default POLL - Do you talk to your tortoises?

I was just wondering, Since I do does anyone else talk to your tortosies? from just saying hello to maybe asking if they want feeding, anything really...

I talk to Boulder mainly so she knows I'm there and isn't frightened or startled.

I talk to all of them, and when my dogs want feeding I'll say "Will Mummy give you some dinner now?" They are all my children

Of course I talk to them, personally I think you'd be weird not to ...... although if they start talking back, then you have problems

Ha ha I say hello to them and it drives my daughter mental.

But the funniest is my son who has a little thing, I cant do it properly on here as it wont sound right, but its something like "george george" said in a high pitched voice followed by "mildred shes a good girl".

Im laughing as im typing, I said to my husband that its a good job we are detached as the neighbors would think we have tortoise torrets lol
