A beloved magpie that was controversially taken by wildlife rangers could soon be reunited with its owners after its seizure sparked national outrage.
Molly the magpie’s carers have received a major update about the world-famous bird weeks after he was seized by wildlife rangers.
Following Molly’s rise to stardom, complaints surfaced regarding the couple’s possession of native wildlife without proper permits, prompting Queensland’s Department of Environment, Science, and Innovation to intervene. “We’ve done lots of research and studying in relation to looking after the magpies,” Mr Mortensen told Nine’s Today show on Wednesday.“I’ve been through all the accredited training to rehabilitate wildlife... so we’re not quite sure exactly what sort of further training is involved,” he said.
“Stay positive, keep focused on the best outcome and never give up on this noisy little magpie,” they wrote.“The legalities of the situation is not an easy fix and it’s a process through legal frameworks,” their latest post read.Calls to reunite the pair have intensified.

The seizure of Molly prompted widespread outrage on social media platforms, with supporters rallying behind the couple through petitions and messages of solidarity.
