I read three sparrows in the title at first and I spent an uncomfortable amount of time looking for the third in the image.
Non English native, is tree sparrow the way they are called? I only ever heard of sparrow before.
There are many different species of sparrows. This is an Eurasian tree sparrow, but there are over 100 other species in the world.

Eurasian Tree Sparrow is the full common English name of this species
there are 2 large groups of sparrows, Old World & New World, your Eurasian Tree Sparrow is an Old World Sparrow while American Tree Sparrow is a New World Sparrow that is not too closely related
so... yes ... there are MANY kinds of sparrows + to add more confusion, non birders sometimes call any small brownish bird a sparrow
PSA: it's a tree sparrow if its hat is light brown, otherwise a house sparrow.
So these are indeed tree sparrows, right?
Sure looks like it
Great photo. Little dudes came right up to you, huh?
