Forty-five days after being seized by Queensland wildlife authorities, Molly the magpie has been returned to the home where he became a social media sensation for befriending pet dog Peggy. The state environment department announced the interspecies companions were reunited at their Gold Coast home on Monday, in a much-anticipated development that ends the long-running saga.
Peggy the Staffordshire terrier’s owners Juliette Wells and Reece Mortensen, who took the bird home from a local park when it was injured four years ago, are yet to comment on the development. They had relinquished care of Molly to the department on March 1 after a series of complaints. They have been ordered to not make commercial gain from Molly, as well as continue wildlife training and engage with the department to “ensure the bird is receiving adequate care and enrichment”.
