Your definition of  extremely common is obviously different to mine. 
Crows are "extremely common" in Brisbane.  Brushtail and ringtail
possums are common [often seen sitting on footpaths and wandering along
phone lines].

I suspect the foxes in Brisbane are outnumbered by dogs and cats by
several orders of magnitude.

I suspect the foxes living round towns make a fair living by nicking the
pet food that people leave lying around and generally scavenging rubbish
[like the crows and seagulls] and so aren't so dilligent in turkey
hunting.
