Advice, please?

At Currawang, we have flock of at least six diamond firetails who have remained for several weeks now, happily saying pleasant things about the resort-like features of Edendale. Up until this year, passing pairs of visitors only. The last few times I've spotted them on our driveway (quite dense foliage either side) I've noticed they are kept moving by a flock of sparrows which seems to replace their last movements. Is this usual, and if so, is there any way of disposing of, discouraging or banning The Wicked House Sparrow? I'd much rather have huge flocks of DF, than a few sparrows. At present, the other way around.

Regards,

Jude Hopwood.
