The Faroese starling
The pied raven, a colour variation of the North Atlantic subspecies (Corvus corax varius), was unique to the Faroe Islands. The last one was seen in 1902.

The fauna of the Faroe Islands is characterized by the remote location of the islands in the North Atlantic Ocean. There are few terrestrial species, but an abundance of breeding seabirds and marine animals. Some subspecies and breeds are endemic. All land mammals were introduced by humans.
