Table 2 The height of House Sparrow nests, and the structure they were in and near

From: A high incidence of non-cavity nesting in an introduced population of House Sparrows suggests that the species should not be constrained by cavity-nest site availability

Variable Mean (± SEM) Range
Nest height (m) 3.25 (0.09) 0.75‒10
Nest structure height (m) 4.78 (0.17) 1.2‒2.4
Nest height as a percentage of structure height (%) 71.9 (0.01) 12.5‒100
Average structure height within 50 m2 (m) 5.5 (0.19) 2‒25
Highest structure within 50 m2 (m) 14.6 (0.4) 3‒30
