In the past they were used as bodyguards, looked after prisoners at theTower and guarded the British crown jewels. But now they are a tourist attraction , they act as guides for the tourists.

6 ravens live on the territory of the Tower. The legend says that, if the ravens ever fly away, the tower will fall down and with it the British mo-narchy and kingdom. That tradition has been honored for more than 300 years.

A Yeoman Warder, or Beef-eater, has the specific role of Ravenmaster at the Tower

and takes care of their feeding and well being.

Ravens receive a healthy diet of a raw meat, special biscuits, eggs and the occasional rabbit (the fur is good for them).
