Yes, they're ravens. We have them here in the Tower of London. If they leave
the tower, the monarchy will fall, which doesn't sound like too bad an idea
to me, but the beefeaters feed them so they don't move east and live off
doner kebabs instead.
They're enormous birds. The people feeding them could easily lose a finger
or 2 if they're not careful.
Lovely plumage.
