Bluebird box occupied by Sparrows (1 Viewer)

Good morning,
We have two Bluebird nesting boxes in our yard... this spring, I've noticed Sparrows nesting in one while the other does have Bluebirds at home.
I have removed the Sparrow nest once already, now I see they are back at it again.
Are there any tips to discourage them from taking control of this box?
Thank you.

It is illegal to interfere with a nest.

HAH! Not on my property it's not.

anyway, with the lack of responses here, i found a way to discourage the sparrows.
now, the intended Bluebirds are currently making home there.

This is working... and the bluebirds have taken over the box!
I got this idea from here:
