Queensland Premier Steven Miles has provided a major update on Molly the magpie, who wildlife officials removed from the home of Reece Mortensen and Juliette Wells after complaints the bird was being kept illegally. The Gold Coast couple rescued Molly when he fell from a nest in 2020. A surprising friendship blossomed between Molly — who was initially thought to be a female — and the couple’s staffordshire bull terriers Peggy and Ruby.
“I hope my support for that campaign can get Molly back home.” Since Molly was seized, Wells and Mortensen have not been able to see the treasured bird but have never given up hope of a reunion. The Department of Environment, Science and Innovation has assured the family that Molly is doing well. “The department has contacted the couple to assure them that Molly is being well cared for and that options are being examined for the bird’s future care,” a department spokesperson said.
