Do you say hello to animals?

They don't (fully) understand me and they don't really care. If it was my baby I would talk to it so it could learn to speak, but other people's?
Yes, quite often.
Unless there's other people around.
I also have a tendency to wink at them, like we have some mischief planned or something.
That's outside though.
At home, entire philosophical conversations and debates, the whole nine yards with my dogs.

"Hello Mr./Ms. Animal. Lovely morning/afternoon today."
*Bends down and kisses on lips*
Like everyone.

Both animals and kids respond to people talking to them and it's actually very important for development and general wellbeing for both.
Animals may not speak our language but they do pick up on the messages and tone we are conveying and talking to them can form closer bonds. I have had a couple of dogs and over a douzen cats in my life and spoke to all of them. Many cats I have had would always talk back and converse with me in their own way.
It's why making a form of translator for cats is impossible because they form their own language depending on the owner so a stranger wouldn't understand a cat talking but a good owner will.
Sure, but if its not my pet or child I don't have any vested interest in helping their development or making them do something or whatever.
So do you not interact with any pets or kids that aren't your own?
Dogs cats, the occasional fox or squirrel. And the family of robins that have made their home in the warehouse at work.
Try and stare out goats sometimes.

I sometimes talk to animals, but not in the presence of others (except younger children).
I used to have about 17 cats in my childhood home, I win.
