How to Keep away European Starlings & House Sparrows?

You could try asking them politely to go home!

If it is a problem at your feeders a change to safflower seed for a few weeks will move them on their way.

Unfortunately, one man's trash is another man's treasure as all do not feel the same way about these two birds.

We tried to have house sparrows but they black birds or scrub jays kept killing the baby birds and different things we kept trying didn't work. so that is why we made the entrance hole smaller. Otherwise we would keep the house sparrows. that'w why we want to discoursag the house sparrows.
