Перевод:

1. Работа не дается воронам пожизненно. В 1981 году ворон по имени Грог покинул Тауэр и поселился возле местного паба после 21 года службы Короне! В 1986 году другого ворона, Джорджа, отправили в зоопарк за плохое поведение: у него развилась нездоровая страсть к нападению и уничтожению телевизионных антенн.

2. Изначально Мерлину звали Мерлин. Когда ей было очень скучно, она притворялась мертвой. Довольно много посетителей попадались на эту уловку. Представьте их шок, когда они увидели, что птица лежит на спине, задрав лапы!

3. Вороны — очень хорошие подражатели. Был ворон по имени Харди, которому нравилось пугать туристов, лая как собака. А вот история о Торе, который хорошо умел общаться с людьми. Когда Президент России посещал Тауэр, птица приветствовала его своим низким «Доброе утро!». Президент был впечатлен.
