There are loads of different names for this, all local variations.
An old English one is a blight of sparrows but you probably wouldn't think of that now as there are so few of them compared to days of old.
Another one is a humiliation of house sparrows.
Here are a few more: ubiquity, quarrel tribe and host.
My favourite is a meinie of sparrows which is of Scottish origin meaning a crowd.
Nearly all the terms related to birds in huge numbers. Shame we don't see that any more.
