Please link all cards:
Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts
Duskrider Falcon
Protection prevents 4 things remembered by the mnemonic DEBT:
Damaged
Enchanted/Equipped
Blocked
Targeted
Since Teysa's destroy ability does none of those 4 things the Duskrider Falcon
would still be destroyed by it. Of note to with her ability is that it doesn't state "If a creature is destroyed this way put a 1/1 white and black spirit..." so even if the creature isn't destroyed due to indestructible you still get the token.

Make sure you link all cards in your question. There's a formatting guide at the bottom of the page.

There is a very easy way to remember what protection actually protects from. Just remember the acronym DEBT. It stands for the following:
1. Damage - all damage that a source of a certain quality would deal to a permanent with protection from that quality is prevented.
2. Equipping/Enchanting - a permanent with protection from a quality can't be equipped or enchanted with a card of that quality.
3. Blocking - a creature with protection from a quality can't be blocked by creatures of that quality.
4. Targeting - a permanent with protection from a quality can't be targeted by spells of that quality or by abilities of sources of that quality. (In order for a spell or ability to target, it must use the word "target" in its text.)
Now, since the ability of Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts doesn't try to do anything of the above, it will have no problem with protection.
