The Tower of London’s ravens are being cared for as living guardians of a legend that links their presence to the survival of the historic monument and the British monarchy.
The warning says that if the birds were to leave the Tower, the building would crumble and the monarchy would also be at risk. As a result, the ravens are kept at the landmark and well fed.
The birds have become a draw for tourists visiting the Tower of London, where they remain part of the site’s enduring traditions.
Correspondent Seth Doane meets the man responsible for caring for the feathered protectors of the realm and maintaining their place at the monument.
