Peggy And Molly: The Weirdest Friendship Between A Magpie And Her Rescuer, A Bull Terrier
We all know that friendship has no limits, but our furry friends prove this best. When it comes to boundaries, friendship, and loyalty, we can learn something from them because it's their specialty.
When they develop a connection with someone, it's a relationship for life. They don't change their minds on less-than-perfect days, and they are always there to offer support.
This story is about a remarkable animal friendship. It took their bond to the next level, transcending the boundaries between different species.
A few years ago, while Peggy was enjoying a walk in the dog park with her parents, Mortensen Reece and Juliette Wells, she ran into her future best friend—a little magpie. At that time, the magpie was wounded and just a couple of weeks old.
Peggy's parents wanted to help her, so they took her home and began to care for her. The original plan was simply to help her recover, after which they would let her return to her friends.
However, when the time came for the magpie, named Molly, to leave her rescuers and return to her species, she refused. It turned out that during the time they cared for her, Molly became very attached to Peggy.
So instead of a simple healing mission, they gained a new pet, and Peggy found her best friend. At first, Peggy was a little afraid of Molly, but the time they spent together made them inseparable friends.

Their friendship is surely among the strangest, but it's adorable.
"This photo just says it all. So content in each other’s company, with Molly wanting to be part of the puppy pile."
“The two would lie near each other, not touching, but close together. Then they started snuggling, and soon, they were inseparable,” said Juliette.
Peggy really wanted to help the magpie get well, so she did something extraordinary:
“Peggy wanted to help keep this young bird alive and even produced milk to assist. It is truly remarkable.
Peggy’s vets confirmed it,” said Juliette.
They always keep doors and windows open so Molly can leave whenever she wants, but she simply doesn't want to go.
“I do believe Molly thinks we’re her family. She has many bird friends but sometimes prefers to just hang around Peggy.
“We always leave all the doors and windows open and have tried to encourage her to fly back into nature, but she has no interest in leaving us... I’m so sure that Molly thinks Peggy is her mum, and Peggy thinks she is her daughter,” said Juliette.
Peggy recently had five lovely puppies, and their parents thought that now that Peggy is a mom, her friendship with Molly could change. However, it remained at least the same, and Molly enjoys playing with the newborn puppies.
“The thing that makes me so happy about this relationship is that they chose us. I feel grateful every day to witness their relationship evolving and becoming stronger, no matter what happens.
It’s true love and unity, regardless of their differences,” said Juliette.
