The Most Unusual Job in the World?

King Charles II said that there must always be six ravens at the Tower of London, otherwise the kingdom of England would be destroyed. So for more than 350 years there have been ravens at the Tower and also Ravenmasters to look after them.

Derrick Coyle has worked with the ravens since he left the army when he was 39. He became a Ravenmaster’s assistant two months later. He has had the top job of Ravenmaster for over ten years now.

He feeds the birds in the morning, at lunchtime and in the evening but they don’t always behave themselves and sometimes he has to “dismiss” them for bad behaviour. In 1986 a raven called George had to be moved to a zoo in Wales for damaging TV aerials.

Another task the Ravenmaster has is running a breeding programme. Since 1987 the Tower has bred more than 17 ravens.

In 1995 the Queen presented Derrick with the Royal Victorian Medal for his work.

Derrick is proud of his job. After all he says, “Who else can say they are a Ravenmaster?”
