Had me wondering… are falcons meant to be as small as a finch? She’s super small

falconets, kestrels, merlins, and sparrowhawks are small-ish falcon-like birds
See an american kestrel on a finger: http://kestrelfalconry.com/pics/kestrel_glove.jpg
Also there's also this really adorable bird called a pygmy falcon but that is probably too small to use for falconry/message sending:

it's really hard to find a species with the right morphology. (dirty white (with brown specks) underbelly+face, dorsal side brown, wings+tail black tipped with possible bands, yellow eyes+beak+legs, larger male with white breast and brown crest)
Jonathan is so fine ml doesn’t stand a chance in my eyes ╥﹏╥
