Little Beaks

Companion bird sanctuary & Global advocate for avian welfare

How you can help

Millions of pet birds worldwide experience neglect, abandonment, or care that fails to meet their needs.

At Little Beaks, we provide lifelong sanctuary for small companion birds in Western Australia, while advocating globally for improved bird welfare and awareness.

Our approach is grounded in a simple principle:
Companion birds are complex individuals with distinct physical, mental, emotional, and behavioural needs.

Meeting those needs—through informed care, appropriate environments, and protection from harm—is central to bird welfare.

Every bird needs care that supports their wellbeing and natural behaviour

    Championing pet bird welfare since 2015

    From a small online effort to a registered charity, Little Beaks works to improve the lives of companion birds through care, education, and advocacy.

    Since 2015, Little Beaks has helped birds find safety and better outcomes through sanctuary care, assisted rehoming, and education.

Changing the future for pet birds.
