I still prefer Man and Ladies (and I'm aware this is old-fashioned and 
inconsistent), but I certainly prefer Robins to Ravens.
I think of a Raven as a large bird, and since men are generally larger than 
women I get confused!  I think of a Robin as a
small bird (though maybe the American Robin is larger than the English Robin).
