- Queensland's Department of Environment, Science, and Innovation (DESI) made the announcement, signaling the end of the gripping saga.
- Independent veterinary experts have determined that Molly is 'highly habituated' and may have developmental issues, making her unsuitable for rehabilitation or return to the wild.
- Juliette Wells and Reece Mortensen demonstrated their commitment to Molly's well-being by meeting the conditions outlined in the licensing process, including refraining from the commercial exploitation of the bird or its image, participating in wildlife carer training, and collaborating with DESI to ensure Molly's ongoing care and enrichment.

Quick Glance: Court Overturns West Virginia Ban on Transgender in Sports

- West Virginia is just one of 24 states with legislation preventing transgender women and girls from competing in specific women's or girls' sports events.
