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.
