Sorry, young ladies, you and your families have already eaten all of today’s treats outside. 
You can tell they’re females because the patch on the back of the neck is grey rather than pure white.* Also the males are a glossier black, though you may need to see them together to notice.
* At least for the “race” (sub-species) Gymnorhina tibicen tibicen.

I still had these two magpies standing nearby watching my every move so I persuaded them to go outside. Immediately three more magpies hanging around out there eagerly ran towards me. I told them I have no food and came back inside. Four of them followed me back in.
I’ll have to start handing out their treats at a specific time of the day, and no other, so they get used to the timetable.
