You'll almost definetely get all of the birds you mentioned if you head
up Great Eastern Highway and visit John Forrest National Park. Not inner
Perth, but not too far either. If you go to the carpark (small fee for
entry) and take a wander along the paths there you should find your
birds and more pretty quick, about the only toughie there is the Western
Rosella, and white-tailed black cockatoos could be around in droves or
nowhere to be seen, you could see them anywhere in Perth really.
For inner city, you can't go past Lake Monger and Herdsman, the nearby
Jackadder Lake and Glendalough Open Space are also worth a peek. Loads
of waterfowl and a few bush birds around the place.
And right near the airport is Garvey Park which runs along the river. On
the opposite side of the river to Garvey Park is Ashfield Flats, which
is also usually a decent little birdwalk.
