  Kestrels are rock breeders and do not build nests. Building niches or wall holes serve as nesting sites Fischer.H (talk) 18:15, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Kestrels choose a variety of places to lay their eggs Fischer.H. The chosen place is known as a nest. I am quite aware they do not build twiggy nests like many birds. They are not 'rock breeders' as you state. Kestrels will use other birds' nests, wooden nest boxes or other man-made structures as well as a wide range of natural locations. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:24, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

 Comment In German-language literature Kestrels are often described as „Felsbrüter“ (rock breeders); and while it is mentioned that they often use nests of other birds, the chosen place is normally not called „Nest“, but „Brutplatz“ or „Nistplatz“ (nesting site). It is possible that all of this is wrong, of course, and it is possible that these are just differences between the linguistic habits of bird specialists in different languages. But if it is wrong it is a common error and not Fischer.H’s error. --Aristeas (talk) 09:39, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
