Format
A dataset with 84 observations on the following 12 variables.

Length | Mean body length for the species (in cm) |
Nesttype | Type of nest |
Location | Location of nest |
No.eggs | Number of eggs |
Color | a numeric vector |
Incubate | Mean length of time (in days) the species incubates eggs in the nest |
Nestling | Mean length of time (in days) the species cares for babies in the nest until fledged |
Totcare | Total care time = Incubate+Nestling |
Closed | 1=closed nest (pendant, spherical, cavity, crevice, burrow), 0=open nest (saucer, cup) |
Details
Amy R. Moore, as a student at Grinnell College in 1999, wanted to study the relationship between species characteristics and the type of nest a bird builds, using data collected from available sources. For the study, she collected data by species for 83 separate species of North American passerines.
