Nesting Magpies

How do you tell a pair of Magpie Robins that the nesting box they have chosen is actually designed by the infinitely more intelligent humans for the Indian mynas?

A pair of magpies has started visiting the myna box in the balcony. I think the pair is not bonded properly as yet. The female keeps visiting the box with beak fulls of nesting material with the male keeping guard . But some times she just flies off with the rival male from the next building!

No pictures as yet. Waiting for the pair to settle down properly.

Need to put up more boxes .... now on the window grills
