  • rabbits
  • hares
  • foxes
  • camels
  • water buffalo
  • feral pigs
  • horses (brumbies)
  • dogs

All domesticated pets, with the exception of some native birds such as finches, and various parrots such as budgies, cockatoos, cockatiels, Bourkes, etc, have been introduced into Australia. Non-native birds include Indian mynas, common starling, mallard and rock pigeon. Dogs, cats, white mice and other common pets have also been introduced.
