Wild birds can bring all sorts of nasty things into your coop. Disease, lice... Rather figure out where it's getting in and block the hole(s).

Put a fake owl on top of the roost, maybe that will work. The sparrow might see it and think its a real owl looking to have a bite

nowadays they make great owls, some move when activated by sound and the head turns and hoots, and some have glowing eyes for nitetime. Wild birds, while pretty as their own, can be really bad if they get into chickens living quarters etc.
