"We need to figure out a way to co-exist" ? ? ? ? ...Really!

How to co-exist with Magpies:
-Sell your patio furniture (preferably before it gets covered in pooh).

It's entirely possible that wasting magpies gives you good karma.

Killed 4 with single shots from a lever action daisy spring loaded bb gun as an 8 year old.

If you hit them above the breast they're done.

You clearly know what you're doing. The sweet spot on a magpie is pretty small. Personally, I prefer a shotgun. The explosion of feathers is most satisfying.

Well, obviously! I was just sayin' that a bb gun can do the trick if used properly.

I used the BB gun to "wing" them or startle them by hitting leaves and branches etc. near them, My intent was never to kill them, just get them the fvck out of my yard. It worked very well.

Now I've got a canister of 2000 BB's to unload.
