Open the thing up and desolder the microphone. Extend those wires out and plug them into NPR or the news or noise or a video game automated run. Fake the data. Give them wha they want!

Hmmm looks like the felixes just purchased a T-Rex...hmm, home come I see no T Rex food or care products on our store!
