Ravens. Legend says that if the ravens ever leave the Tower, the country will fall to an enemy. For this reason, the flight feathers of the ravens are kept clipped so that they cannot fly away.
A group of Ravens can have three different names depending on the activity of the group; a constable, an unkindness, or a conspiracy. A constable of ravens refers historically to the group of ravens that congregated around the Tower of London; they were thought to be 'keeping watch' over the monarchy. Therefore, any time a grouping of these birds seems to be watching or guarding something, the group can be referred as a 'constable.' They can also be called an unkindness or a conspiracy - likely for similar reasons. If a flock is driving off other predatory or carrion birds, or 'picking on' another species either because it is competition or prey (although they feed largely on already dead animals, they are known to work together to hunt if need be since they are extremely adaptive birds), then these are apt terms.
The Baltimore Ravens have had several notable names throughout their history. The team was founded in 1996 and has been known simply as the "Baltimore Ravens" since then. They are often referred to by their nickname "The Ravens" or by their mascot, "Poe," named after the famous poet Edgar Allan Poe, who has a connection to Baltimore. Additionally, fans sometimes refer to them as "The Flock."
No, they do not flock. There are 40 different species of falcon around the world. The peregrine falcon is the most common being found on every continent except Antarctica. These birds of prey are solitary for the most part with the exception of their mate and their young who leave the nest and area as soon as they are able to look after themselves.
The Raven because an "unkindness" is the name for a group of ravens (like a flock)
Very interesting question. A group of blackbirds is most correctly called either a cloud, a cluster or a merle of blackbirds. Because they are so similar to ravens and crows, they are also called a murder, but this is not the most correct term.
A group of sheep is called a flock.
Yes. The crow is noticeably smaller, with a smaller bill, and a fan shaped spread tail. The raven has a wedge shaped fanned tail, and shaggy throat feathers. Crows "caw', ravens " make a croaking "kur ruk" sound.
