Is it just me or do your lovebirds seem to just love technology?

Both Izzy and Gizmo are obsessed with landing on my laptop and trying to "type things in", maybe its just their curious nature but it does make doing Homework very hard.

Gizmo is constantly on my hand while I type, but I'm not complaining x). Because of him I'm only 60% done with Biology LOL.

I really do miss her but she made it real hard typing since she was protective of the key's! She managed to loosen some, so I had to start scattering seeds all over my keyboard.


Every time a phone would pop up she had no issue landing on the top, so there's many butt shots!


He would perch there until my phone came up, then off he goes up to my shoulder. Please notice the "8" key, Izzy somehow manages to make me remember her.


Sorry for the long nails, I keep forgetting to clip them, back to him, he enjoys his afternoon scritches so my homework had to wait !

My lovie insists that my laptop is his, even when I'm using it. He's on my laptop right now! I think they like the warmth and find the screen interesting. It's a big warm toy to them.

I finally caved and bought a toy laptop for my eclectus (Batmaaaaan! And it plays music). Most of the time he's happy to try to pry the keys off of that instead of MY laptop, now. But.. sometimes he decides mine must be better if I'm using it. Guess otherwise I'd be using his :p

Well... you have something fun they don't and they want to play too:D Why not buy (and clean up) an old keyboard at a thrift shop for them to play on? Take out any batteries/cut off the cord and let them pull up all the keys they want.

Oh, and I have a keyboard overlay for my macbook since MY beastie likes to fling food at my laptop:20: it keeps bits of food from ruining the keyboard. Don't know if you have a pro or air, but this is the general idea-

My tiel does the same thing only she fights with me over what I am and am not allowed to type. She likes to stand on the keys and squawk at me anytime I start typing then demands scritches.

And I'm sure that if truth be told, Zephyr has probably mumbled, under his breath "damn, it's about time, how long have I been telling you to get me one???"

Hahaha, all my birds love to do that.. :D BUT they are not allowed to touch the keyboard! :) My gcc just usually perches on my laptop lid and chews it (which cannot really make any damage). If they could chew on the keys I would had to get a new Mac (and I have an expensive one!). :D

I was thinking about finding one of those bird laptops online :D

I used to have a keyboard protector but even just pinching it with my nails I can get through it pretty easily, and it also gets way too dirty underneath and its "ew". And I'm not too keen on cleaning it so much because you need a cleaner for Apple and it's risky to use it with birds.

Before I had to fight with Izzy because she claimed the keys and got too protective over them so everytime I tried to type I'd get bit.

I'm sorry I asked about Izzy on your other thread, I didn't know :(

Gizmo sounds like a real sweetheart. Just watch out for poop in the keyboard lol :)

I have to keep Robin away from my iPad. He tries to attack it, and I don't want him to destroy the leather case! I have to keep my fingers clear when the phone is too close to him too.

Oh no no, don't be sorry! It's gotten easier to talk about her and it's getting to the point of being okay. Honestly, i just keep reminding myself that she's helping to take care of my grandma :eek:.

He knows when to relief himself, when I put him on his little playgym the first thing he does is try to poop. He does it everywhere else but he has an immediate reaction there! Everyone else were more like "BOMBS AWAY". I had some seep under the keys, and it was a pain cleaning.
Izzy would attack my iPhone too, she took off the buttons on my phone case LOL.
