Over al area larger than a meadow it would be because of the food triangle. Suppose these are hawks that prey on swallows and nothing else. If there were more hawks than sparrows, each hawk would have less than one sparrow to consume and so would probably die of starvation. This would bring the hawk population down. Eventually, the hawk population would be reduced to a level where the sparrow population could sustain it.

Hawks do not prey on only one species, and sparrows have other predators as well so the situation is not quite as simple as that. Furthermore, there are differences in breeding cycles and numbers as well.
