Quick Glance: Reunion of Molly the Magpie and Peggy the Staffy
- Molly, the magpie, has finally returned home to the Gold Coast after a 45-day odyssey and has reunited with her unlikely best friend, Peggy the Staffy.
- Queensland's Department of Environment, Science, and Innovation (DESI) made the announcement, signaling the end of the gripping saga.
- Independent veterinary experts have determined that Molly is 'highly habituated' and may have developmental issues, making her unsuitable for rehabilitation or return to the wild.
- Juliette Wells and Reece Mortensen demonstrated their commitment to Molly's well-being by meeting the conditions outlined in the licensing process, including refraining from the commercial exploitation of the bird or its image, participating in wildlife carer training, and collaborating with DESI to ensure Molly's ongoing care and enrichment.
