    Lifelong Sanctuary Care

    Little Beaks provides permanent, lifelong sanctuary for small companion birds in Western Australia.

    We prioritise:

    • birds with medical or physical disabilities

    • birds surrendered from neglect or unsafe conditions

    • birds who would struggle to be rehomed elsewhere

    • emergency welfare cases, subject to capacity

    Intakes are currently paused. When we can take birds again, it will be against stricter criteria than before, focused on the birds with the fewest other options.

  • Forest and BB, two scarlet-chested parakeets

    Rehoming Support

    Most birds are rehomed by their owners, not by rescues. We've published a full guide to doing it safely—what to ask, what to look for, and what should make you walk away.

    Our aim is to prevent unnecessary sanctuary intake while still protecting birds.

    Welfare Education & Advocacy

    Education is one of our strongest focuses, and it's the part of our work that reaches beyond Western Australia.

    We advocate for:

    • flight and enrichment

    • diets beyond seed

    • companionship—no solitary small birds

    • ethical breeding reform

    • transparent rehoming practices

    • veterinary care as standard

    Our knowledge hub, Buddy's Branch, is where this work lives: welfare articles, myth-busting, and practical guidance for people who want to do right by their birds.
