How do you get rid of sparrows from around your house?

I say you keep them there. They will only be there for awhile and they cant bother you that much. To avoid the birds coming back the next year, put something to block them from being able to make a nest. This is much better then knocking over the nest that took them so long to make.

You may, on the other hand, want to consider the damage that they could be doing to your home, as well as the over 60 diseases that their droppings can carry. Many of the diseases caused by bird droppings are caused by an airborne fungus, which, if allowed to circulate in your home, greatly increases your health risk.

You can evict the birds, perhaps with a Transonic Pro (http://www.bird-x.com/trans.html). It plays both sonic and ultrasonic sounds that makes birds feel extremely uncomfortable, which will probably cause them to leave. Visit http://www.bird-x.com for more information.
