Molly the magpie, whose viral fame led to his rescuers signing a book deal, will be reunited with his best friend, Peggy the staffy — but conditions apply.
Authorities say Molly the magpie will be returned to its original carers on the condition they make no commercial gain from the bird.
The unlikely friendship that blossomed between the pair was documented on social media, gaining over 800,000 followers and landing the couple a book deal with Penguin. They are also ordered to undertake wildlife carer training and to continue engaging with authorities to ensure the bird is receiving adequate care.
"So that's the bigger reason why we might want to regulate, for example, who can rescue animals that they find on the side of the road.
