The raven is one of the most intelligent birds in Iceland and has long held
a prominent place in Icelandic culture and folklore. It is a large black
bird with a powerful bill and deep croaking call. Ravens are highly
adaptable and occur throughout the country.
Their diet is varied, as they are both predators and scavengers. Ravens nest
on cliffs, trees, and remote sites. They are resident birds and can be seen
year-round in Iceland.
