There are a lot of different jobs in the world, but Derrick Coyle’s job is very unusual. He is the only raven master at the Tower of London.
The raven master is the person who takes care of the ravens that live in the Tower of London. Derrick lives there with his wife. His day starts at 5 o’clock in the morning. He lets the ravens out of the cages, he feeds them, gives them water and clean their cages. He does all that before he has breakfast. During the day he feeds the birds and looks after them until he puts them back in the cages at about 9 o’clock in the evening.
