A small, bold, or cheeky sparrow, or used metaphorically to describe a cocky or impudent person, especially a small one.
From 'cock' (a rooster, implying boldness and aggression) + 'sparrow' (a small bird). The combination suggests a small creature with outsized confidence or attitude.
This term perfectly captures sparrows' actual behavior—they're tiny birds that act like they own the place, aggressively defending their territory from much larger birds, making them genuinely cocky despite their size.
