How to Make a Robin Nest Box
Robins build nests in trees or on other structures. Some of us naturally think that the robins that make their nests in the most natural settings will have better success than those that nest on houses. Sure enough, once in a while a baby robin crashes to a hard cement patio and dies when it first fledges from a nest built on a porch light. Baby robins in tree nests have far softer landings in the branches below their nest branch.
Nest Boxes Can Help Protect Baby Robins
A problem even more dangerous to baby robins than falling is predation, especially by American Crows. Most crows are reluctant to come too close to buildings, so robins that nest on porch lights, window sills, eaves, and other spots on houses are usually safe from them. Robins nesting on buildings are often easy to study during their nesting period. If you want to study nesting robins, getting them to nest in a box or other structure can be good for you AND good for the robins!
Problems associated with robins nesting on houses:
Robins don't use nest boxes. The closely related bluebird will, however.
They like a small platform ( shelf ) in a protected area, like under the house eaves.
the colour of a robins nest is red
Actually Robins will nest in boxes but they won't use boxes designed for the Tit family. Use a template for an open fronted nest box & place it somewhere under cover & away from prying eyes (including yours). Robins will abandon their nest if they are disturbed. You need to also make sure that it's also inaccessible to predators such as Jays, Magpies, Cats etc. A regular supply of live mealy worms will also help. Templates for both types of box are here: http://www.bto.org/nnbw/make.htm American robins are not cavity nesters, but the EUROPEAN ONES MAY.

Robins and will nest in Conifers (pine, spruce, and fir trees and the like)
In some areas, like in the south, robins are double brooded, but build a new nest for the second brood.
European robins nest in all sorts of places, often thick hedges. They also use old discarded kettles, sheds and letter boxes. As far as I can tell from my reading, American robins are similar.
After they have mated and they are ready to lay the eggs.
No. They build a new nest each year because of safety, health, and instinct reasons.
