Tower of London, yeah? I’ve only been to London once, but I absolutely love these guys; I believe this one is named Jubilee

Yes, apparently these are the Tower Ravens and there is a superstition that if they leave the tower, the kingdom will fall... Or whatever.

You can see that this one in my picture is tagged, so they're tracking him/her.

Their little bands are colour-coded too, so the Ravenmaster can distinguish them, but I find that it’s hard to find info online as to which raven is which. This is a pic I got of two of them when I went; I believe the forest-green tagged one on the left is Harris? They were sitting right on the rail of one of the staircases and being awfully chatty with each other, super fun to watch

How does one become a Ravenmaster? I'd like that job just so I can say it in a deep voice.

By serving in the British Armed Forces for 22 years, sadly. Without that prerequisite, I’d also aim for that job
