The Internet Helps Reunite Two Unlikely Friends
Humans aren't the only ones who make friends in this world. Animals often find comfort and friendship in other creatures. An adorable dog, Peggy, just so happened to find a deep connection with a bird named Molly. The pair were brought together during the lockdown by Juliette Wells, an Australian photographer, and her husband, Reece Mortenson. 

Molly is a magpie, this is an Australian bird. Peggy is a Staffordshire bull terrier. Whenever Juliette and Reece shared videos of the pair, the internet went wild. People loved seeing the bond these two animals shared. However, with any internet fame comes the potential for trouble. The Department of Environment, Science, and Innovation (DESI) required them to surrender Molly after getting a few complaints from a small group. There were concerns about a wild animal associating with a domestic animal. 

People online were devastated when the couple shared the news, and a petition immediately started on Change.org. There were over 150,000 signatures. The couple had rescued Molly from an off-leash dog park when she was injured and left behind by her parents. Thankfully, the people were heard, and the pair have been allowed to reunite. People love an unlikely duo and will help fight to keep them intact. 
Can Dogs and Birds Live in the Same House?
When considering which animals you want in your home as pets, it's always important to research and ensure that it's safe for two different species to cohabitate. One pairing that many people wonder about is dogs and birds, especially when people see stories like the previous one. Will the dog chase after the bird? 

The good news is that dogs and birds can be kept in the same house together, but it's important to take some precautions, especially in the beginning. An adult should always be present when the two are in contact with one another. Don't leave them unattended with access to each other. 

Size is also an important factor. Small dogs and large birds might be more compatible than a large dog and a small bird. Sometimes, even a cage won't keep the bird safe. Keep them in separate rooms with a door that can close when you aren't home. You won't know how your dog will react until you present them with the opportunity. Make the introduction while your dog is leashed so you have control over their actions. Allow them to get used to each other and keep a very close eye on their interactions. 

That being said, it's absolutely possible to have a dog and bird live in the same household together. Just be sure to keep a close eye on the situation.
Instant Relaxation Awaits You
If you've ever struggled to enjoy cannabis due to the harshness of smoking or vaping, you're not alone. That's why these new cannabis gummies caught our eye.

Mood is an online dispensary that has invented a "joint within a gummy" that's extremely potent yet federally-legal. Their gummies are formulated to tap into the human body's endocannabinoid system. 

Although this system was discovered in the 1990's, farmers and scientists at Mood were among the first to figure out how to tap into it with cannabis gummies. Just 1 of their rapid onset THC gummies can get you feeling right within 5 minutes!

Feed the Birds Without Harming the Dogs
You might not consider the ingredients of your birdseed when adding it to your backyard bird feeder. The truth is that some bird seeds contain ingredients that aren't safe for dogs. Raisins are a common ingredient in certain mixes, and they can be harmful to your dog's digestive system. 

Make sure to look at the ingredients when purchasing bird seed and ensure that they have swapped raisins for something dog-friendly, like dried apricots. This ensures that if a spill or a rascal squirrel makes a mess of your feeder and some feed falls to the ground, your dog will be safe even if they start sniffing around.
