Legend says that if the ravens ever leave the Tower, the country will fall to an enemy, so the flight feathers of one wing are clipped so that they cannot fly. Also, tourists now expect to see them there.

Why are there so many ravens at the tower of London?

There used to be many Ravens throughout England. There have been at least six in residence at the tower for centuries. It was said that Charles II wanted to remove them following complaints from the Royal Astronomer. But he was then told of the legend that if the Ravens ever leave the Tower of London, the White Tower, the monarchy, and the entire kingdom would fall. Charles was not prepared to take the chance, and instead had the observatory moved to Greenwich. Since then the Ravens have remained. They are now looked after by the Ravenmaster at the Tower and their wings are clipped so they cannot leave. They are now a tourist attraction.
