In some areas, like in the south, robins are double brooded, but build a new nest for the second brood.

Do robins have more than one brood.
Robins nested on our porch in Mississauga, Ontario, in 2007. They are back in 2008. Are they the same robins? Or are they the offspring returning to their birthplace? How could we find out? All robins look alike to us. We have photos. ET 19 May, 2008.
No they build a new nest for each brood. However they may use the same nest site year after year.
No. They make a new one for each brood but if you take out the old nest after the young have left the nest they may make a new in that birdhouse.
They will, both species get along quite well.
No. They build a new nest each year because of safety, health, and instinct reasons.
No. Doves and pigeons build new nests for each brood.

The queen wasp tends to make a new nest every year which grows in size as her brood expands. She makes the material for her nest by chewing old bits of rotting wood and turning it into a substance which looks and feels like papier mache.
Brood can mean: * The young of an animal who exist in the same space. Ex: The Bird's Brood (the birds hatchlings as a whole) * To Worry About Sometihng * To sit on eggs
An Internet search found that female robins lay one egg per day and that they often hatch one per day in the same order they were laid.
Swallows (house martins, swifts, etc) migrate from the northern hemisphere at the approach of Autumn and Winter, to Africa and warmer climes. They are reputed to return to the same nest site each Spring. By migrating, they ensure that insects are available, and they will nest and rear another brood.
Robins, and most birds that we know, do not return to a nest after a brood has left. What is called Robin in the US builds in shrubs usually, and includes mud in the base with plant pieces over that. Most used nests will contain diseases and pests such as mites, and take up room where other nests might be made, so removing them after they are empty does all birds a favor. Normally, boxes should be cleaned after a brood, too. In the US, Eastern Bluebird, for instance, will make a second nest over a former one in a box if it is deep enough. Other species may make a nest over one that was tampered with, as when a Cowbird egg is layed in it or eggs are damaged by a House Wren. Other exceptions are swifts and swallows, burrowing birds, and large birds such as Osprey; and birds that use the same places, such as owls using nests from other species including squirrels, and many birds using the same cavity after a woodpecker or other animal made it handy.
