Tower of London - ravens

Seven ravens are in permanent residence in the Tower of London; their wings are clipped, so they can't fly away. A superstition from the time of Charles II claims that when there are no longer ravens in the Tower, both the White Tower and the kingdom will fall.

The Ravenmaster -- one of the Yeoman Warders -- tends the birds; they even have their own pens. Visitors will probably see ravens on the Tower Green.
