KJV — word by word

Are -- This helping verb indicates the present tense of the verb. This indicates a plural verb, but the verb is singular. This is strange if the verb refers to the two sparrows. 

not -- The word translated as "not" is a different form of the usual Greek negative of fact meaning "no truly," "assuredly not," "not however," "nevertheless," and "notwithstanding."

two -- The Greek word for "two" means "two" or a "couple."

sparrows -- "Sparrows" is a word that is the diminutive of the word for "sparrow" so "tiny sparrow." These were sold at the temple as the least expensive animal sacrifices. It is also a metaphor for lechers. This word is in the objective form, so it cannot be the subject of the sentence. 

sold -- "Sold" is a word that means "to sell" and "to exchange." When this word is applied to people (as it is metaphorically here), it means "to betray" or "to give up." However, in this form, it could also be a word that means "to go up and down." The verb is singular and in a form where it is either passive or acts on or for itself. Again, this means that the birds are not the subject of the sentence. Greek verbs do have a "dual" form when the subject is two, but it is not used here. The Luke version of this verse (Luke 12:6) uses a plural verb for five sparrows.
