How do I keep sparrows out in the winter!

I found a bunch of droppings that aren’t chickens and I’m assuming they’re sparrow droppings since they’re white in color and lately I’ve been seeing many birds fly in and out of their coop

Need to see all of the coop before even hazarding a suggestion.
Show where they are flying in.

the coop door that lets them in and out. Everywhere else is pretty sealed and where it’s not there is chicken wire. Would I have to close the door during the day?

They aren't getting in thru the chicken wire?
No run protecting the coop door?

Only thing I've seen to keep song birds out of coop pop doors is the strips of plastic like a dog door .
Takes time to train the chooks to go thru it by putting the outer strips up first then adding until entire opening is covered by the strips.

That’s smart!
