Little Beaks – Protecting, caring, and speaking up for Australia’s pet birds.
Too many birds face neglect, abandonment, or inadequate care. Some arrive frightened, injured, or near the end of their lives — others simply need a safe place when their families can no longer care for them. Every bird’s story matters, and every life deserves compassion, dignity, and the chance to live free from harm.
Every bird deserves a safe, loving home — your support makes it possible.

Changing the future for pet birds, one life at a time.
Who We Are
Little Beaks is a registered non-profit bird rescue, sanctuary, and advocacy organisation in Perth, Western Australia. We provide lifelong care to small pet birds — including those with special needs — offering safety, love, and the freedom to simply be birds. 100% volunteer-run, every resource goes directly to their wellbeing.

Shroomy
A big journey for a small, determined bird.
-
![Sunny, a male budgie, sitting on a branch facing the camera. He has a horrible case of mites, covering around his eyes, cere and beak; his chest is largely bare of feathers, his wing feathers are ratty and unhealthy, and his nails are crooked.]()
Sunny
One of the worst cases of (possible) neglect we’ve seen.

![Two kakariki parrots sitting next to each other on a branch, the left one facing the camera side-on, the right one facing away, half cut off in the image. This is their first time in aviary and sunlight and they look a little nervous.]()
Chilli & Pepper
From a dark room, these two cheeky kakarikis are a bundle of light.

![Wally, a male plumhead parrot, sitting on a branch quite close to the camera, facing the camera with head side-on. He has wide eyes, a striking purple head, and some bare patches poking through on his chest. He's small for a plumhead.]()
Wally
The shy, handsome male plumhead parrot who captured hearts around the world.

![Bounty, a 10 or so week old budgie, mostly white with a little blue, and dark stripes on her head with clipped wings, sitting on a finger slightly side-on to the camera, head turned more towards the camera. This was her Gumtree image.]()
Bounty
Sold through a car window.

We don’t rehome. We give a home for life.
What We Do
We give forever homes to birds in need, from budgies and lovebirds to finches and small parrots. Our sanctuary is no-rehoming, ensuring every bird stays for life. Alongside rescue, we advocate for stronger welfare laws, educate the public, and work to protect the rights of companion birds across Australia.
