"Those looking to bring robins into their garden have been encouraged to upgrade their bird nesting box to a #WinterRoostingBox by House Digest. These small wooden shelters trap heat with a low entrance, keeping birds warm and safe in winter. Nesting boxes, on the other hand, are only intended to protect eggs with a higher entrance to allow for ventilation. This upgrade can be completed simply by using wood filler, weather-resistant screws, and untreated wood shavings. Wild Birds Unlimited recommends flipping boxes upside down to lower the entrance, and filling ventilation holes to prevent heat from escaping. They should be put in a secluded spot, protected from wind, snow, and rain, about six feet off the ground.

"Gardeners have also been told to leave #suet balls in the garden. As food sources dwindle, robins will seek alternative sources of nutrients.

"Richard Green, an animal nutrition expert at Kennedy Wild Bird Food & Pet Supplies, told House Beautiful that the hard, white animal fat is one of the best options for bird food at this time of year."
