A Life with Birds
For nearly 17 years David Cope has worked as one of the Tower of Londons Yeoman Warders, better 51 to tourists as Beefeaters. David, 64, lives in a threebedroomed 52 right at the top of the Byward Tower, one of the gatehouses. “From our bedroom we have a marvellous 53 of Tower Bridge and the Thames.” says David.
The Tower of London is famous for its ravens, the large black birds which have lived there for over three centuries. David was immediately 54 by the birds and when he was offered the post of Raven Master eight years ago he had no hesitation in 55 it. “The birds have now become my life and Im always aware of the fact that I am maintaining a 56. The legend says that if the 57 leave the Tower, England will fall to 58, and its my job to make 59 this doesnt happen!”
David devotes about four hours a day to the care of the ravens. He has 60 to love them and the fact that he lives right 61 them is ideal. “I can keep a close eye on them 62, and not just when Im working.” At first, Davids wife Mo was not keen on the 63 of life in the Tower, but she too will be sad to leave when he retires next year. “When we 64 our windows we see history all around us, and we are taking it in and 65 it up for our future memories.”
