Kestrels(falconiformes) are more closely related to parrots so kinda makes sense.

Kestrels and falcons are each others closest relatives.
Both are more closely related to parrots than to kites hawks and eagles. In fact falcons are more closely related to tits than to hawks. But tits are more closely related to parrots than to falcons. Fuck, eagles and hawks are more closely related to woodpeckers than to falcons.
Bird cladistics is wild!

I’ve learned today I know nothing about avian evolution. I’m now classified as “amateur bird watcher”, only slightly higher than “I think that’s a pigeon”
