when it/they becomes uncommon, but no one's thought to change the name to reflect that.

Apparently sparrows have been dying off in their thousands. We used to see them all over London and suburb gardens when I was a lad, but now you hardly see them at all. Theories for their disappearance range from use of pesticides to being subject to some rare bird illness to predators, etc, etc. But one thig is for certain - there are far, far fewer numbers now of the common sparrow than there used to be...

Awwww... Can't we keep just one or two, Bruce?

Hey! I just remembered! A lot of ours ARE English sparrows that some idiot brought over on the Mayflower or something. Maybe we should restore them to their rightful habitat. Who wants to volunteer to round them all up?
