I have the same problem with House Sparrows in Seattle having veracious =
appetites.

I have tried putting out just sun flower seed, removing perches from my =
tube feeders, nothing seems to stop them. I would say then also have an =
even preference for Sun flower and millet. I tried setting up a millet =
feeding station for them to give the other birds a chance but they still =
monopolize my three feeders. They even like eating suet with mixed =
seed... They also love to take dust baths in our kids sand box, and in =
the ashes that collect in the ash tray under the barbecue.

For the time being I have stopped feeding the birds altogether to try =
and encourage them to go elsewhere, but after 6 weeks I am about to give =
in.
