Queensland authorities are preparing to return Molly the magpie to the home she shared with Peggy the dog.
Molly the magpie will be home 'very soon', months after being seized by authorities. The bird, who had struck up an unlikely friendship with a Staffordshire Bull Terrier dog called Peggy, had been living with Gold Coast couple Juliette Wells and Reece Mortensen until she was seized by authorities in March. Wells, a photographer, had documented the lives of Peggy and Molly on social media. The pair amassed more than a million followers on Facebook.
"It's good news and means Molly can home very soon," Miles wrote. The couple posted the news on Wednesday morning by resharing Miles' announcement. The magpie is a native Australian species that can live for up to 30 years and cannot, by law, live in captivity as a domestic animal. Only those who have training to care for wild animals can do so in certain circumstances.
