Queensland’s Premier has thrown his support behind a bid to reunite Molly the magpie and Peggy the staffordshire bull terrier. Gold Coast couple Juliette Wells and Reece Mortensen rescued the chick when she fell from her nest at a local park, and the bird formed an inseparable bond with their pet dog.
Gold Coast couple fight to reunite two best friends. The special interspecies friendship has made the animals Insta-famous and garnered them a massive social media following. The pair even had a book about them published in 2023. But after multiple complaints, Molly was recently surrendered to wildlife officers who argued the bird was allegedly “taken from the wild and kept unlawfully, with no permit, licence or authority”.
