General linear mixed effects models with Gaussian error structure and identity-link function for adult starling daily percentage mass change (between morning and evening mass measurements on the same colour-marked individuals) in relation to day status (high human presence, HHP, or low human presence, LHP) and sex of adult (male or female)

Response: daily percentage mass change (n = 43 bird-days of data from 16 adult starlings from 9 nest attempts)

AICc, ΔAICc and model weights (ωi) are presented for all models within Δ2AICc. Model-averaged estimates, adjusted standard errors and 95% confidence limits are displayed. Factors highlighted in bold have confidence intervals which do not contain zero
