If an eight-foot tall raven suddenly appeared nearby, you'd probably be left wondering just how many minutes you have left until the end times arrive. But Huawei is hoping UK residents have a slightly more positive reaction. To promote its P20 Pro smartphone, the company has manufactured a number of giant ravens that it will place in cities throughout the UK this weekend and Huawei says it's doing this because its research shows Brits want to get closer to wildlife.

One raven is, naturally, stationed near the Tower of London and legend has it that if the six ravens that live in the Tower all leave, the kingdom will fall. Because of that, Huawei says it has only made five raven statues, keeping the Crown safe ahead of the royal wedding next weekend. I'm sure the soon-to-be newlyweds will be very appreciative. The ravens will travel to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, York, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and Cardiff.

Huawei puts giant ravens around the UK because that's not creepy at all https://www.engadget.com/amp/2018/05/11/huawei-puts-giant-ravens-around-uk-creepy/
