A social media influencer couple that surrendered a bird named Molly to wildlife authorities earlier this month because they did not have the required permits have found the premier and a pro surfer in their corner in attempts to keep her.
A Gold Coast couple surrendered a magpie earlier this month which featured heavily in their popular Instagram page.
Queensland Premier Steven Miles says his government wants to "work with" Gold Coast social media influencers who illegally raised a native bird at their home.The magpie was reportedly rescued as a fledgling by Ms Wells in 2020 and raised alongside her pet Staffordshire terrier Peggy. But Mr Miles today said "common sense needs to prevail" as he supported authorities working with Ms Wells and her partner to ensure they could obtain the required permits.Mr Miles was asked if he would have the same level of advocacy if a person was raising a bilby or a koala in their home without the required permits.
