Figbirds are also common hosts, and I've seen young Koels in Little Wattlebird nests too, but yes you're right, a Magpie host would be very unusual.

I have only just identified the very distinctive call that I hear as a Koel. But I haven't been able to see it.

Must be a juvenile. I saw it a few times the other days and it was fed by magpies.
