This was from last spring. The robins have since grown up and have their own families now in “the big evergreen bush”, while the peach tree is looking like a bumper crop this year!

Not in the peach tree, luckily, but there are a million birds & nests in the bushes around my house. I live in the home town of John James Audubon.
Robin are outstandingly successful gatherers, no wonder there are so many of them. My wife and I can see a nest from our living room window, and the parents make trips every 5min or so out to the yard and come back with giant mouthfuls of worms. I have no idea how they find the so quickly in the dry grass, but the babies get fat quick and are out on their own in no time.

Ah, if you have one big tree already you can plant smaller ones under it, but if you don’t have the shade to begin with it may be quite hard.
I only have experience with temperate climates, I fail to grow cactus even if I try

My wife gets upset when I water her succulents, she says she is training them to be air plants

Wow! The eggs are so beautiful. Be sure to post another picture once they hatch!
They hatched a year ago, the babies are now adults and taking over my landscaping!
Three more nests and new sets of eggs incoming in that case! :)
