AI overview

Falconiformes is an order of birds that today includes falcons and caracaras, along with a few extinct species from millions of years ago. Modern genetic research has revealed that falcons are more closely related to parrots and songbirds than to other birds of prey like hawks and eagles, which were previously grouped with them based on similar hunting lifestyles.
