No. Possums do not eat birds.
The term "possum" should not be confused with the "opossum" of North America. The two are quite different creatures, and only related very remotely. True possums, found in Australia, do not generally eat birds. Only the Common Brushtail possum and the cuscus may eat baby birds still in the nest.

While a full-grown possum would be too large for any owl to eat, the young joeys newly emerged from the pouch could be eaten.

Do possums eat cantaloupe?
Yes. Possums will normally eat small avocados, I have two avocado trees in my backyard; and I can see the small avocados dissapearing from the trees. I have also seen possums at night at the driveway of my house. My yard-keeper showed me a path in the lawn by the fence where they walk at night; he agrees that the possums are the ones eating the small avocados.
