A. If you're just talking to them for purposes of bonding with them and getting them used to the sound of your voice, then it probably doesn't matter too much what you talk about. You could talk on the phone with someone you usually have pleasant conversations with. You could get a short children's book and read it out loud. I once described the steps I was taking to make dinner to my rabbits at part of getting them accustomed to my voice. Pretty much anything that results in you talking in a pleasant tone is fine.
