"This is my tree! Stay away from my tree!"
"Your tree? It's mine! Stay away!"
"Hey ladies, mate with me! I can make my chest puff up!"

I think house sparrows are gregarious and would never chase their buddies from the tree. Citation: there’s gotta be at least 30 in there on any given day and it’s not a big tree.

They're like dolphins.. 90% of it's purely social.

I'm just going to assume that by "purely social" you mean "they're having intense discussions of avian philosophy which we are just not sophisticated enough to comprehend".

I like to watch creatures and think “they’re discussing Sparrow business” or “she’s got Spider business to attend to.”
