My friends in the eastern suburbs report they are now pretty scarce in that area - I live in the west (Werribee) and they are still common, and Tree Sparrows are not hard to find either

They were pretty common when we first moved to Box Hill 30 odd years ago but had completely disappeared by the turn of the century (probably around the time the Noisy Miners turned up).
They are in plague proportions on our home on the Bellarine Peninsula and I’ll have to find a way to stop them eating the chook food.
