Well Bloodraven has one eye like Odin. Odin gave his eye for knowledge and his two ravens Hunginn and Munginn travel the world everyday then bring back the knowledge that they learn to Odin.
See below on why the ravens would serve the greenseer.

That Blackwood tree intrigues me, too. Some of the world tree myths have the tree as the navel of the universe. Some have it as a ladder between lower, middle, and upper realms. I think that's the Blackwood tree...but it shows a problem that I don't understand.. The Children have both ravens and greenseers reporting back. Why?
Bloodraven would disagree. The ravens have the COTF souls in them.
"Do all the birds have singers in them?"
"All," Lord Brynden said. "It was the singers who taught the First Men to send messages by raven … but in those days, the birds would speak the words. The trees remember, but men forget, and so now they write the messages on parchment and tie them round the feet of birds who have never shared their skin."
