Jeanette, Even out here in New Mexico I have a large flock (30) of House Sparrows. One way to partially control them is to use a tube feeder with a wire mesh around it. The mesh openings should be 1 3/8 inch or less. Painted Buntings are small enough to fit, but House Sparrows, especially males) are not. Female House Sparrows don't like the cramped quarters and eat a lot less, too.
