Tree-cavity nesting is common for a broad range of bird species throughout the world. However, the majority of information on the use of cavity nests is largely derived from the Northern Hemisphere with little data originating from tropical or southern temperate areas. We discuss 3 factors (predation, microclimate, and cavity abundance) that may have shaped the evolution of New Zealand
