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. Bob ============== I watched one idiot try to get one to feed from his palm. (The rest just scattered their offerings.) I was all prepared to pull out my cell phone and call emergency (except cells didn't work in the valley). So, then, ala Larry, I was prepared to take photos of the finger-losing-accident. Luckily the bird was not quite tame enough to feed from someone's hand. I was surprised he didn't notice the big, sharp (probably razor-sharp), curved beak. It was the first thing I noticed. Thanks for confirming they are ravens. They were huge.
