    Challenge Question #5:
    List factors that make for (1) a GOOD robin territory and (2) a POOR robin
    territory.

    A good robin territory would have
        - food for an emergency, like a fruit tree or berries
        - would not have a lot of loud noises
        - not have too many people around
        - not have a lot of predators around
        - shelters to build nests, like near roofs or in pine trees
            (We have seen robins build nests in millk cartons on porches or in
    the letters on a big store sign)
        - open spaces so the robins can see what is coming
        
    A poor robin territory would:
        - not have many other food sources
        - be very noisy and busy
        - not have safe places to nest
        - would have a lot of places for predators to hide
