Most pet birds are loved. Few are truly understood.
Education - Welfare - Advocacy
Little Beaks provides 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—and meeting those needs is what bird welfare means.
Found a wild bird?
If you are concerned about a wild bird, please see our Wild Bird resource page for guidance.
Little Beaks is not licensed to care for wild birds.
At capacity, but still here for you
We're currently providing critical care to the birds already with us, so new intakes are paused (emergency cases considered).
If you're looking to rehome or surrender a bird, please still get in touch—we'll do our best to help you work out the options, whether that's with us or another rescue.
Every bird needs care that supports their wellbeing and natural behaviour

Lifelong care for the birds who need it most

Learn with us
Good intentions aren't the problem—outdated information is. Most bird care advice hasn't caught up with what we now know about how companion birds think, feel, and live.
Buddy's Branch is our free knowledge hub: practical care guidance, welfare articles, and myth-busting—all grounded in current evidence.
Let’s flock together for bird welfare
Every dollar goes directly to the flock—food, housing, and the vet care that keeps our most vulnerable birds alive. As an ACNC-registered charity, we're fully transparent about where your support goes.
Little Beaks is proudly registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), ensuring full transparency and accountability in everything we do.
