Let me just state, for the record, that I am not a huge fan of the House Sparrow. They're marauders, they're piggy and they're not very nice to other passerines...
But...
If you set out food for everyone else, the sparrow will show up to the party. If you want to see anyone else, you have to expect to see the sparrows. Sometimes in large numbers.
And because I'm a fan of finches, grosbeaks, juncos and the occasional cowbird (though thankfully, those don't visit in large numbers), I put up with the sparrows.
