  1. The right-top part of the table refers to t-values, the left-bottom part to p-values. Positivity of t-values indicates that the mean value of the number of birds’ visits at feeder with the dummy in a column is higher than the mean value related to the dummy in the row. LH = unmodified sparrowhawk dummy (‘large hawk’); P = unmodified domestic pigeon dummy (‘pigeon’); LTH = life-sized sparrowhawk dummy with great tit colouration (‘large tit-hawk’); LRH = life-sized sparrowhawk dummy with robin colouration (‘large robin-hawk’)
