A reunion between Molly the magpie and dog Peggy is one step closer, with the Queensland environment department willing to provide wildlife carer training to a Gold Coast couple. “The environment department stands ready to train Molly’s parents to be wildlife carers, to get that certification, so Molly can be reunited with the family,” Premier Steven Miles said on Thursday.
