Possible but I wasn't able to find anything on Google other than the fact
they fight and usually recieve minor injuries.

ok ok i know a lot of people have a bad time with magpies but look to
human intervention for the problem don't blame the bird.

we have 3 familes of magpies with common boundries here on our rural
block, so this time of the year or most of the year there is some
bickering over boundry infringments but never anything full on just
some aerial stuff or swooping at each other.

now this morning i saw 2 families having this sort of altercation on
our property where their boundries meet, so not taking much notice i
went about my work only to look down the paddock and see a dead
magpie. the magpie had recieved a fatal wound under 1 wing looked like
a bullet hole, but could not have been didn't hear any guns and people
around here don't go shooting magpies plus it was only a sight that
could be seen from our vantage point. so i can only guess that some
how this boundry fight got a bit rough.

has anyone else ever expereinced magpies actually hurting each other
to the point of death?

that's nature, that's life i guess.
