Lauree’s Law is about proposed Australian/all State laws, to Ban Bird Breeding & Sales in Australia & to introduce Companion Bird Welfare Laws in Australia.

Birds/Parrots have the same psychological and physiological issues as human beings, so you can imagine how tragic it is that birds are the most exploited souls on this planet.

Currently there are only Codes of Practice in each Australian state that bird breeders/sellers/owners do not care to adhere to and the codes are not thorough enough to ensure proper bird care. In fact, many of these codes are drafted by the bird breeders themselves so there is a huge conflict of interest.

There are thousands of birds who need to be rehomed and rescued from abusive homes or from Aussies who need to surrender their birds for personal reasons.

As of 2023, the amount of bird been surrendered from private homes & sold from breeders is unimaginable.

Our parrot rescue sanctuary, Agapi’s Sanctuary in Melbourne is inundated with surrender enquiries.
