I wasn't sure where to post this, hopefully it's not way off though!

So I was wondering, how do you guys do with your fid(s) and computers?
Kiwiberry constantly tries to rip off the keys and tear the stuff underneath it off as well.
Now I can't use the computer in the same room as her if I need to use the keyboard a lot, I can get away with a few shorter messages if I cover it up a bit, touchpad is fine to use as well.
But I still wanna be with her when I do my research or whatever it may be, I hate hearing her call me from the bedroom, breaks my heart.

Any ideas on how to change this? Distracting her with toys doesn't work, putting her in the cage makes me feel incredibly guilty as she'll let off these cries and try to get out. So I'm not sure what to do here...

I got a silicone keyboard cover for my laptop, and it seems to be deterring Kyoto from picking the buttons :)

However, she does like to chase my fingers as I type ><

I got her a window perch to sit next to me, and a little play stand with a food dish to keep her occupied. Hope this might help you. And I'm sure others will have even better suggestions.

So funny, for me, not you! I knew Bongo couldn't tear apart my phone and... Happy ending? Yes, company phone, they replaced it! Your solution? Find a cheap source for keyboards and buy in bulk!
