I fact checked this. This is only true if you recognize the proposed subclade of Eufalconimorphae. If we operate under the accepted understanding that parrots and falcons are linked by being in the higher clade of Australaves it would be inappropriate to call falcons closer related to parrots than other birds of prey because the Austravalaves definition includes Cariamiformes (like the terror bird) which are also birds of prey.

If someone of the zoo regularly listens to such wrong "facts", why don't they put of "Did You Know?" signs with actual facts at the enclosures? TIL that falcons are Assault Parrots.

The second half of this sounds like it came straight from TierZoo

I totally thought those "facts" were going to be the made up crap that dads come up with to mess with their kids.

I.E. My dad once told me that the reason we sweat was because if we didn't we'd burst into flames when we get hot.

Way more entertaining than legitimate misinformation and misunderstandings.

Please don't assault parrots

In other words, falcons are the ranked sweatlords of birds

I had to stay quiet as a random 6-ish yo child confidentially asserted to her parents that the elephant with an enormous erection was a girl.
