The best fitting model was shown above. The weight, tarsal length, wing length, tail length, gape and body length of parental birds were included in the model as random factors, body weight of fledglings as independent variable
* Positive and negative effective factors represent heavier or lighter mean nest weight at p < 0.05, respectively
