Can falcons be used like carrier pigeons to relay messages?

While falcons are capable of great speed and agility in flight, they have not typically been used as carrier pigeons to relay messages. Carrier pigeons, commonly known as homing pigeons, have a unique homing instinct that allows them to return to their loft or home base even when released from unfamiliar locations. This exceptional ability makes them reliable for carrying and delivering messages over long distances. Falcons, on the other hand, are birds of prey that are trained for hunting or falconry rather than message-carrying duties.
