Everything is now as it should be in Peggy and Molly's world.

In a heartwarming video posted to their thousands-strong social media following, Molly the magpie can be seen arriving home, where it is greeted by a waggy-tailed Peggy the Staffordshire terrier.

The short montage of the bird's first "24 hours home" features Molly sitting on a branch showing off her signature bark, charging around the house with her wings out and having a bath.

Juliette Wells and Reece Mortensen voluntarily surrendered Molly to The Queensland Department of Environment, Science and Innovation (DESI) earlier this year after authorities found the couple did not have the required permit to care for native wildlife.

Ms Wells has said the pair rescued the bird as a fledgling in 2020 and raised it alongside Peggy and their other pet dog, Ruby, Peggy's daughter.

The unlikely friendship that blossomed between Peggy and Molly was dubbed a "Real life Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet" story, and has seen the animals' interactions garner hordes of followers online and later secure a book deal.

After a sustained campaign to reunite the dog and its avian friend, which saw Premier Steven Miles and pro-surfer Kelly Slater throw their support behind the cause, authorities worked with the couple to ensure they could obtain the required permits to care for Molly.

'Singing is music to our ears':

In a statement, Molly's carers said "We are just so happy to be together again".

"Molly's first 24 hours home have been wonderful for all of us," Ms Wells and Mr Mortensen said.

"They are resettling into their normal home life and Molly has had a few baths and played with her faithful sloth toys with Peggy and Ruby never too far away.

"We have had to duck quite a few times as wings flap by our heads and the constant singing is music to our ears."
