Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Despite being a bird of prey, falcons are actually more closely related to parrots than they are to hawks or eagles. In 2008 it was discovered that falcons and kestrels-- now classified in the order Falconiformes-- share a more recent common ancestor with parrots than they do with other birds of prey, which fall under the order Accipitriformes.
