    We think the pair of robins may need many things before they can nest.
    Here is a list of them:
    - a safe environment free from predators
    - trees
    - food (worms, bugs, berries etc..)
    - temperate weather, the isotherm has to be at approx. 3 degrees C
    - water, not frozen
    -clean air
    -materials to build a nest with
    -dry spot to nest in
    -an evironment that isn't too crowded or noisy
    - their own territory
    -weather is cooperative, not too windy
    -sunlight to heat up the ground
