Table 2.

a Nestling diet (binomial); and b adult starling provisioning rates (zero-inflated Poisson GLMMs with log-link function) in relation to day status (high human presence, HHP; or low human presence, LHP), time block (morning, early afternoon or late afternoon) and age of nestlings (weeks one, two or three)

(a) Response: nestling diet (proportion anthropogenic food provisioned) (n = 82 nest watches from 15 nests)

AICc, ΔAICc and model weights (ωi) are presented for all models within Δ2AICc for each analysis. Estimates, standard errors and 95% confidence limits presented are for the top model in the case where only one model within Δ2AICc was returned, or are model-averaged coefficients in the case of more than one competing model within Δ2AICc (in which case adjusted SEs are presented). Estimates are not back-transformed. Factors highlighted in bold have confidence intervals which do not contain zero

Ϯ Day status: ‘HHP’, † time block: ‘early afternoon’, and ǂ age: ‘week one’ were used as reference categories
