Why did the kestrel cross the road?

It is a common misconception that the kestrel crossed the road. One day, the kestrel was stood at the side of the road, and was looking both ways quite nervously as he prepared to cross. The chicken came along and said "I wouldn't do that if I was you mate, you'll never hear the end of it". The kestrel took the chicken's advice and did not cross the road.
