Table 3. GLMM for the total number of birds at bird-feeders in relation to temperature, habitat (urban or rural), presence of a novel object, density of all bird species, number of cats, number of dogs, number of pedestrians and the interaction between habitat and presence of a novel object as fixed effects.

City was used as a random effect with a variance of 0.94 and a standard deviation of 0.97. The number of observations was 160 and the number of cities 14. Effect size is the z-transformed Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. Statistically significant terms are shown in bold font.
