Well, according to legend, there must be at least 6 ravens at the Tower at all times. They usually keep 7 ravens and last year, one disappeared: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/queen-raven-leaves-tower-london-will-kingdom-crumble-n1254296

And I had always been told it was a "murder" of ravens, not an "unkindness." Where did that come from ??? Is it the 'woke' collective noun?

I really hate having weird stuff in my brain 😂. A group of Ravens is called an “Unkindness” and a group of crows is called a “Murder”. Just different birds. And there’s your winning Trivia answer someday lol.

More winning Trivia... on the same day that the Great Chicago fire broke out, another, bigger, more devasting fire also broke out in Wisconsin called the Peshtigo Fire.

And the great London Fire broke out in....... 1666.
