Raven bedtime

Follow me for the evening as I put the Tower of London ravens to bed.

I subscribed to this man for quality raven content. This is quality raven content.

Just a man wandering round herding ravens with a bucket of mice.

Thanks for this Chris! It takes a bit more work than one would think. Nice to see them all tucked up safely for the night :)

"Just me and 1000 years of history" and I'm hooked. The Ravenkeeper, how fabulous. Subscribed, liked, and notified. Quality. Greetings from Suffolk, Virginia USA in the Historic Triangle of Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown. I'm in awe of your station, sir.

They’re so smart! They’re like kids I swear :) A thousand years of history. Wow! Some day I’ll get there! I’m in the US in Massachusetts We’ve only celebrated 250 years and that’s nothing compared to British history .

[@martiwilliams4592]

Delightful!!! So happy I stumbled upon your channel. Much needed and appreciated!

[@Morbidia]

It's so amazing if animals know you are a good person and you speak nicely to them and are patient they respond so well.

[@marianglynn9479]

Thank you Mr Skaife for sharing

[@msavp7492]

Magical, really.

[@harvestbirdy]

Really enjoyable video! Read your book about how you put the ravens to bed, but it is nice seeing a part of your daily schedule with the ravens on video.

[@nightowlslounge]

How smart they are! To know which house is theirs! How wonderful! I found your channel after having a pair of ravens in my garden. I want to make them my friends! Any tips? ❤I’m so glad I found your channel, love from across the big pond from Rhode Island, USA!

[@mrs.alucard6669]

I read the book you wrote and the bedtime rituals are wonderful! Merlina's antics are adorable!

I always thought there was a big tower and at the top there were raven enclosures, like an attic, with straw nests, and there was a trapdoor where you would climb up on a ladder and throw mice/corn onto the floor from the story underneath. There would be a big window on the side where the ravens could enter/exit, and it could be opened/shut by the ravens (on both sides) so they could keep in warmth during winter. The ravens wouldnt have individual pens, but rather "cubicles" where nests were, wich allowed privacy, but still left easy acess to the outside. In winter there would be a filament bulb to heat the pens up to 10 degrees (celcius) The room would be circular (8-12 sides), with the cubicles around the edges, and windows-doors on two sides. The cubicle doors would face clockwise, so a raven exiting a cubicle would turn right to reach the common space, and the trapdoor in the middle. There would be a 3rd of a meter ledge (1 foot), and an awning over it so the ravens can sit outside in the rain and not get wet. Feeding would probably take place just after 5,6 or 7 so that curch bells can signal "Dinnertime!" There are probably holes in this idea but I think it is potentially viable.

I'm chuckling Sir. Store locked...like your going to get a burglar!

[@absintheminded8466]

I like the idea of keeping a country safe through someone taking care of birds rather than virgins taking care of a fire.

[@judithramsay5891]

Loved your book, enjoyed seeing the Ravens in June 2019, I've never seen the Crown Jewels. I prefer the Ravens and Anne Boleyn.

[@gloriagarrison8055]

All the best from Ohio.. Love your book

[@christineh4782]

Thank you very much for these videos and the book! 👍👍🇺🇸

[@jonathanferguson1211]

Always enjoy these Chris. Thanks for sharing.

[@bengtsamuelsson6273]

Absolute loved this! Thank you!

[@blex5579]

no wonder they like you when you feed them quail...mine get all sorts of leftovers...lol

[@G_Robb]

I love them! You seem to really know them. If I ever visit the UK I'm definitely going to go to London to see the Ravens. Can tourists feed them? Do you allow them to hatch eggs?

[@lisakaz35]

A few have bred there. Tourists don't seem to have to try to feed them. Seems a few cheeky ones will steal your crisps. The Raven Master does give them their daily meals but they still seek out junk food.

[@amberwilson4578]

The crows and ravens I feed love grapes and cut up hot dogs .

[@rev.ruthe.gallot9103]

you look so bundled up with the high neck jumper ...

[@akb5531]

That was amazing! Thanks!

[@_thefault3873]

Hey my friend, I’m from Brazil, so sorry for my poor English, but, do you know how or if it’s possible to have or adopt a raven in Southern Hemisphere

[@berry_xi]

First I got reccomended ducks eating peas. Now I'm reccomended crows.

[@poopyprincesstoiletpaperte270]

I have never really envied any one before but I have now! You are so very blessed to be able to be with these amazing ravens!! 💚💚💚💚

[@FortviewFarm]

Wow that's so interesting ❤

[@Kit-se3zs]

Do the enclosures have glass roofs?

[@maxgarner2487]

like thanks for shearing

[@AS-rg3dd]

why did I think There was someone Standing In then tunnel under the light In the beginning

[@Obese_Pterodactyl]

Oh I thought they were chained up all day?

[@christineh4782]

Do their rooms have solid roofs so other birds flying over cannot contaminate their rooms?

[@benjaminbradley4771]

I don't know the answer. But I live on the island myself. And I would hazard a guess, that it is because of our random weather patterns.
