@thunderbird8588:
Ungrateful Robins agile, are american Robins different to British ones then?
When we had Max our big Dog, i used to leave his fur around after grooming and it went to form many a good nest :)
oh yes, very different. american robins are larger and the breast is a chestnut color. Plumage on the sexes are the same. Eggs are a beautiful bright blue.

and even though they are rather ungrateful, i enjoy seeing them around. last year they did not next on my back poarch, but the tree by the garage. the previous 2 years they were on the poarch. I just have to make sure the dogs are always leashed when the fledgelings start hopping out of the nest.
And, for comparison, the English robin:
