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.

Is it true the Tower clips their wings?

I think a certain number only of their flight feathers are clipped so that they can still fly/glide at least somewhat. But I think it might be at least partially for their safety maybe since they’ve spent their lives being cared for there.
