Pete, we have four parrots - two small conures, a Hawkheaded parrot, and an African Grey. The grey loves to play with new toys, and I've been thinking of building a small computer for her with some simple games she can play by pressing buttons with her beak. There is a DS10a on her cage door to alert us if she pulls a Houdini act and escapes. That's happened a few times.
With the speaker setup I'm going to do whole house audio. I have a 12 channel amp (6 stereo channels) I bought off eBay, and an Autopatch 4YMP matrix switcher on its way. 6 sets of in-ceiling speakers covering the back patio, master bath, master bedroom, living room / dining room, family room, and kitchen. For control I'm planning on using J River Media Center, and I'm rewriting the HS plugin for it. I'll probably end up writing a plugin for the Autopatch also.
