Hey Billy, we have the same sparrow here. It was introduced in the 19th century and we call it the house sparrow or English sparrow (surprise, surprise). I can get several dozen at a time at the feeders. My crowd can empty a feeder in a day. According to my iBird, a group of them is called a "blight," a "humiliation" or a "subdivision." I think I like "subdivision" best. I'll be curious to see how fast your single family empties the feeder.
"hi dave" we call them house or hedge sparrow's, they'll do a feeder in about three day's normal, funny but i i love the fact that our garden's may be a few thousand mile's apart but in a way are the same,
Back at the old computer after a few days of having Aberdeen forced on me. Doesn't look like your sparrows are going to be getting in the guinness book of records this time. Perhaps you could introduce a few seeds of a more "class B" type and wait for the munchies to kick in.
Daveon Fidalo - that's some sparrow, over a hundred years old and still managing to commute between you and Billy's bird feeder for lunch. Perhaps we'd better get the guinness book of records in after all.
Didn't know sparrows were into humiliation and subdivision - ain't the internet an eye opener!!!!

"don't think feather's would look right on you mate"
your right though these little critter's know how to eat,
"stay cool big fella"
Looks like the little fella's shouting "Hey kids it's dinner time," "come and get it."
