The Delight of Baby Ravens

How wonderful to find out the news that at the Tower of London in London, England four baby raven chicks were born on April 23. Right on the day, my dad was born. The towering legend has it that there must be seven ravens at the Tower at all times or else the Tower would crumble and the kingdom fall.
Now there is no fear about this legend and the Tower of London is thrilled that the raven mummy Muninn and raven daddy Huginn have welcomed four baby raven chicks. The chicks have a wonderful diet of quail, mice, and rats and get to feast every two hours. It is not certain what they will all be called but one of the chicks will definitely be named George or Georgina in honor of the fact that they were born on St. George’s Day.
Who has been to the Tower of London?

No I have not and this is the first about the legend for me, as you can guess I hated history.

That's a great legend and a wonderful photo!
I've never been to the UK but I want to go someday. London would certainly be one of my destinations!

walking around inside the walls of the tower, you begin to realize how big it is!

@RasmaSandra I got that fear as a child and I'm scaring the bird.

I haven't gone to that place and it's far from reality even in my dreams. But I could there anytime via Internet. Thanks for that wonderful news about the ravens.

That is only a dream to visit Tower of London, but I enjoy seeing it on tv. That's so nice news about the ravens.
