If the sparrows aren't sentient or human-like (such as the animals in Aesop's fables) but normal animals, then I think it would be more appropriate to go with option #2 .

Describe the scene in detail: how would two sparrows fight over a breadcrumb? Would they peck each other, squawk, flap their wings to intimidate each other? If you find the right words and pacing, it will be tense and engaging, not "flat".

In general, you can give the animals human mannerisms, without having them speak, and convey intention entirely through body language. This works best in a comedic setting. Look at Shaun the Sheep to see what I mean.

For example, in this particular scene, while humans would raise their fists to fight over a woman, birds could "menacingly stretch their wings, and circle each other, fueled by their desire for that delicious, beautiful, pure breadcrumb". Humans may hit someone with a pool cue, a sparrow would use a twig.
