Next question is - can/do Magpies do a similar thing, ie, pull small
aviary birds through the wires and/or scare them to death ?

I have not heard of that happening.

As a wildlife carer I have heard of losing birds / young flying-foxes to
Kookaburras, Butcherbirds and Currawongs, never Magpies.

Magpies might attack an adult bat stuck in a tree but they aren't well known
(at least to me) for attacking pups and birds.
