I would say that #1 is a starling.
Not sure about #2, looks like a sparrow but it's belly isn't light enough.

Both of these birds are transplants from Europe and both are destructive. They are usually not protected.

most birds in my area are not protected, at least not from kids and their bb guns, how do you mean they are destructive? to people or land or other animals?

The house sparrows and the starlings are driving out the native birds such as the bluebirds from their nesting places and taking over their nests. This has a negative impact on the population of the native birds, some of which are on the decline while the population of the house sparrows and the starlings are increasing. It's to the point where they are now considered as pests in North America.
