There are plenty on Christmas Island - saw them a couple of weeks ago.

Eurasian Tree Sparrrows used to be quite common in some Melbourne
suburbs and we used to see plenty around Ivanhoe and Alphington. In
recent years they have declined markedly, so I was pleased to see one on
Wed. 30 November, on the outward platform at Alphington Station, while
we were waiting for the 10.08 to the City.
In case any tick-hunters really want to see them, there are still quite
a few at Melbourne Zoo. They are not very hard to pick from House
Sparrows - brown cap, and black spot on cheek.
