I get the impression that sometimes Falcons chase birds that are too big for prey just as exercise. In the UK I saw a male Merlin (very small) chase a Blackbird all over a reedbed. The Blackbird thought it was for real and was alarm calling away,
but the Merlin didn't persist and gave up after a while.
