No but you gave me a great idea! Cling film to stop any poopies going down :laughing7:
They've got silicone keyboard protectors for nearly ever model of keyboard out there. I got a set for my laptop and it keeps the bird food bits OUT and it kept Sherbie at bay for about 4 days...Now he goes right to it and there's certain keys he targets (the arrow keys and f keys!!) and two seconds later they're off. :mad: He thinks it's sooooo fun.

i have a desktop computer. orion likes to sit on the monitor and has pooped down the back a good few times. he also likes to pick off keyboard keys but that does not hurt the keyboard and the brand i use is cheap to replace so i just let him do it lol. i used to have it so there would be a toy hanging over the monitor.

A keyboard cover such as this:

Works well. I don't have a computer to put it on right now, but I had it on my school MacBook when had it. They are great, keeps keys clean and they are cheap, only about $2. I had another one, but it was getting old and my friend's cat ripped it in half by catching her claws on it. :p they are pretty durable otherwise, and they protect against (most) things. :3

-edit-
Can you see the photo? It isn't working for some reason on my iPad.
Sorry if you can't.

I believe they build in something birds can not resist! Not a parrot I know that doesn't want to eat/kill keys or to pop off the screen protector! I even gave chicken my old laptop the doesn't work any more. That kept his 1/2 occupied for 1/2 the day :grumpy: I'm cleaning the top outer shell & the pop off the shell at least 2x a day ... :meh: The things we do for love! :joyful:

A USB beak of course. Then she can plug right in. :)
Sweet Jesus of Nazareth. You want my gang of pirates plugging into the WWW. Have you ANY IDEA how much damage they could cause if they had knowledge to go with that destructive energy?

I'm going for a lie down now!

So funny! We just buy warranties and if, I mean when, they bite the screen, we get a new one. The big boys are not playing, they will eat the clips AND the computer lol. But that is a great idea!
