It is unusual but certainly not unknown. I suspect
HANZAB would list cases of aviphagy by magpies. The one I recall as the biggest
bird prey taken was an Eastern Rosella. There is the additional quite unusual
aspect in what you describe, of potentially a cooperative approach. This is well
worth writing up in CBN.
