Disable standby completely?

I need to disable standby completely. I've stopped it doing it after x minutes, but when the PC is "locked" (on the switch user scren), there is still an option to standby. I need to get rid of it, as the PC will not recover from standby.

The reason is rather odd - I set my PC to lock after a few minutes as I have pet parrots (16 of them) some of which like to walk around on the keyboard. Now standby is pretty easy to do by pressing tab and space in the right order a couple of times - and they've managed it on 5 occasions now.

Or alternatively - another way to lock my PC from user (parrot!) input? As also it's possible to shut down the PC without a password! (They haven't learnt my password yet....)

For centuries, the English have had a love affair with all types of hunting. Early one morning, a fellow was blasting away at a clump of brush on a grouse hunt.
Suddenly an outraged gentleman appeared and said "See here old man, you almost shot my wife with that volley."
The hunter, properly shamed replied, "So sorry old chap. Here, have a go at mine, over there."
