Details
aviurba$mil
contains for each site, 11 habitat attributes describing the degree of urbanization.
The presence or absence of farms or villages, small buildings, high buildings, industry, fields, grassland, scrubby areas,
deciduous woods, coniferous woods, noisy area are noticed. At least, the vegetation cover (variable 11) is a factor with 8 levels

breeding stratum (ground, building, scrub, foliage) and migration strategy (resident, migrant).
