Why not hope the raptors come back for a nice, juicy English sparrow treat
?  They have to eat too, anyways.  Right after English sparrows were
introduced into this country, about 100 years ago, they were such farm
nuisances that people trapped them.  The Migratory Bird Act may have ended
that. Lately I've noticed English sparrow numbers down and native
competitor numbers up, but that might just be personal observer bias.
