Is there such a thing as a computer keyboard with metal keys?
I' am looking for a parrot proof keyboard as mine pulls off the plastic
ones and chews them.

Buy yourself a new keyboard and give him your old one? That way he can
browse on his own. : )
He can remove every key in 5 minutes, then proceed to chew each one 30 seconds at a time. All it takes is damage to the flimsy bit at the back that slots into the base and it's useless.

Useless. Parrot beaks are strong enough for mangling metal keys too.
You need a keyboard cage,
Parrots do not bend metal surely? They can undo nuts (but not nylock
ones) but I've never known them bend metal. It's an African Grey.

I see big ones quoted at 400 psi, stronger then a Rottweiler,
and three times stronger than a human bite. (about 35 bar, 3.5MPa)
Strong enough to crack macadamia nuts or to bite off a finger.
Guess your best bet is to cover your keyboard while away,
and to defend it manualy while behind it,

There are people on Etsy selling stainless steel and aluminium keycaps
but they very expensive - £20 plus per key!
Rather than an expensive metal keyboard perhaps you could settle for a
cheap budgie^Wbudget one. :-)
I already have a cheapo one and regularly swap parts, but the same keys
are attacked so I run out of them. These Etsy ones, can you buy
individual keys? And will they fit any keyboard?

I guess you mean a scarlet (or greenwing, or blue and gold) macaw (or a cockatoo)?
Do you know what an African grey is quoted at? All I can find is the most powerful one, a Moluccan Cockatoo, with 500 PSI.
I guess rotating a nylock nut requires a different direction of strength
then biting through something. That will be the neck muscle, not the beak muscle.
Guess your best bet is to cover your keyboard while away,
I simply move it off the desk to a small table in the corner which for
some reason he never goes to. It's where I put anything I don't want attacked, like the mail.
The problem arises when I forget or stupidly think I'm only leaving the
room for 2 minutes.

I shouldn't have to. What do they do, barter? Imagine you went into a supermarket and had to ask how much each piece of fruit was.

High end products tend to have this , they also don't seem to deal with the UK the USA is the closest english so the price might be in dollars,
then their might be import taxes to pay and currency conversion, post and packing etc.. So they may require that you give them all this info before they can tell you how much it will cost.
It's almost as bad as when you see a price that says from 199, but that's only if you order 100+

Metal keyboards are an excellent choice for gamers looking for a high-quality, durable, and customizable keyboard that can handle the demands of even the most intense gaming sessions https://gamingideology.com/High end products tend to have this , they also don't seem to deal with the UK the USA is the closest english so the price might be in dollars,
