I somehow missed this before. The term 'rust-sparrows' brings to mind 'rust monsters as small birds that dodge well,' which is a pretty scary thought - especially as keeping them under control would be much harder. I'm imagining them having a 2d or more Corrosion Attack with Contact Agent and maybe Ferrous Metals Only, but that's not the only option.
