Little Beaks – Protecting, caring, and speaking up for Australia’s pet birds.
Millions of pet birds around the world face neglect, abandonment, or inadequate care.
At Little Beaks, we provide lifelong sanctuary for companion birds in Western Australia, while advocating globally for better bird welfare and awareness.
Some arrive seeking safety and healing. Others come from loving homes whose circumstances have changed—families who want the very best for their birds.
Our belief is simple: every bird’s story matters, and every life deserves compassion, dignity, and freedom from harm.
Every bird deserves a safe, loving home—your support makes it possible.

Championing pet bird welfare since 2015
From a small online effort to a registered sanctuary, Little Beaks continues to lead compassionate change for companion birds through care, education, and advocacy.
-
Home to 600+ birds
Across six aviaries, every bird at Little Beaks has a safe, natural space to live and socialise. From finches to lovebirds, each one is part of a thriving, peaceful flock.
-
1000+ lives saved
Since our first rescue in 2015, Little Beaks has helped hundreds of birds find safety, care, and second chances—whether through sanctuary, assisted rehoming, or education.
Changing the future for pet birds.
Who We Are
Little Beaks is a registered non-profit bird rescue, sanctuary, and advocacy organisation based in Perth, Western Australia. We provide lifelong care for small companion birds — including those with special needs — offering safety, love, and the freedom to live as part of a flock.
Run entirely by volunteers, every contribution supports the wellbeing of birds in our care—from daily feeding and veterinary needs to the essential upkeep that keeps us running.
