At the end of the last century the independence movement was searching for a new symbol. It was finally decided that the falcon would be the new national symbol and sbsequently new arms showing the falcon were used from 1903-1918. The Icelandic gyrfalcon has through the years been a very popular bird of prey. It is also a typical Icelandic bird. The falcon has also been used by old Icelandic chieftains on their seals in the 15<sup>th</sup> century. The arms were replaced by the official arms in 1919. | At the end of the last century the independence movement was searching for a new symbol.
