G'day Israel,
I've never tried to sort out alternative transport to the spots you mention,
but I unfortunately I suspect it'll be difficult for all of them - only areas
within Perth and a few other major towns are generally easily reachable by
public transport. There may be companies that run tours to some of those
places, but if there are I suspect they'd be tourist oriented if there are any.
I may be wrong though, hopefully someone out there will have some more useful
tips!
There are quite a few spots around Perth that are reasonably accessible via
public transport, like Herdsman Lake (92 bus from Wellington St Bus Station in
the city), Lake Monger (15 bus from Wellington St), Alfred Cove, Kings Park and
no doubt others. You may find the Transperth website and journey planner useful
for around Perth - http://www.transperth.wa.gov.au/. If you're keen to do a
fair bit of birding outside the Perth area, then I think you'd really need to
look at hiring a car - sorry :(
