Magpie Thinks She’s A Dog, Plays With Canine “Sister.”

A magpie and a grey dog are best friends.

A rescued magpie is loving life with her new family, including their dog, Peggy. In fact, the bird looks up to her four-legged big sister so much, she’s even started barking! According to this YouTube video, Molly was just a baby when she toppled out of her nest at a park in Queensland, Australia. Thankfully, she was found by Peggy and her owner, who took the little chick home. Although it took the bird and the pooch a while to get comfortable around each other, they’re now the best of friends!

Eventually, Molly grew up and learned how to fly. However, even though she can fend for herself, she still liked to hang out at the home she grew up in. She especially loves to visit her four-legged sister. Sometimes, the magpie acts more like a dog than a bird. Aside from barking, she also plays, naps, and rolls around on the ground with Peggy.
