National Laws
In each state of Australia (except Tasmania) there are Codes of Practice for the Welfare of Companion Birds. It is unfortunate that most if not all of these codes are breached by most Pet Shops and Bird sellers across Australia.
In order to change these Codes to Laws, pressure needs to be applied to Government lawmakers. State Governments need to be contacted informed of the serious welfare breaches upon most companion birds in Australia.
If you see any breaches to these codes, please contact Paris Yves Read on 0413 530 419 (Melbourne, Australia), or agapissanctuary@hotmail.com relevant State Government departments (as below) or your state RSPCA office:
If you have witnessed animal cruelty, including neglect or abandonment, you should report it via phone or online form to the RSPCA Inspectorate team in the state or territory it took place. Northern Territory reports should be made through the NT Government.
