According to the legend, the kingdom and the Tower will fall if the ravens leave. Historic Royal Palaces links this tradition with Charles II. It is institutional storytelling, not an established explanation of historical events.

The real birds have identifiable carers: the Ravenmaster and a team of Yeoman Warders. HRP describes feeding, enclosure maintenance and health care. It also explains that partial flight-feather trimming encourages the ravens to remain at the Tower; it does not mean that they cannot fly. The subject combines a story about monarchy with the everyday work of keeping birds. Names and staffing should always be attached to a dated announcement.
