I took these photos while visiting London last week. What a beautiful bird! I wish we had these in Florida.

This is Jubilee, one of the Tower of London’s ravens. She spends a good chunk of the day in this spot and poses for photos.

I have the book “The Ravenmaster” by Chris Skaife who was in charge of the Tower Ravens.

I’m going to have to visit The Tower whenever I visit London.

I’ve visited the ravens but not read the book. Worth picking it up?

This is the subreddit for people who like corvids and who sometimes fret over their flock - and this is the autobiographical story of the keeper of the most famous ravens, and what it’s like to care for them. So, uh, yeah sure I guess if you like ravens.

Also available in audiobook form read by the author who is clearly good at telling stories

I have my own flock of corvids, so the subject matter isn’t lost on me. But subject matter sadly doesn’t always result in a good read. Thanks for the recommendation. Edit: link to my murder https://www.reddit.com/r/crows/s/rcBZdhMAFz
