This to me looks like a dab page in search of a subject. The term "walking falcon" is the literal translation of the generic name Phalcoboenus, but appears not to be used. Nor is the term attached to Caracara (subfamily) or the individual species striated caracara - or at least our articles do not mention it, and I can't find any sources that do. That leaves us with the "See also" of Buteogallus daggetti, which does appear to have the nickname "walking eagle", but we don't establish dab pages to accommodate See Alsos (and falcon should not be among those, in any case). Maybe this could be a redirect to Phalcoboenus, but even that would be an unusual move, as we generally don't make redirects for the literal translations of taxonomic names. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 10:46, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
