| “ | Snowbell: What do you know about a bird called "Falcon"? Monty: "Falcon"? Ohh, that's a bad guy, you don't wanna fool with him. Stuart: Do you know where we can find him? Monty: You don't wanna find him. You don't want to have anything to do with him. Trust me! He'd eat you so fast, you'd be a pile of falcon poop before you could yell for help! Falcons are vicious! They grab you by the back of the neck and carry you so high you can't even see the ground, and then they drop ya, and by the time you hit the pavement, they just drink what's left through a straw!' |

| ~ Monty explaining about Falcon to Stuart and Snowbell. |
The Falcon is Margalo's egotistical master who treats Margalo much more like a pawn than a daughter figure in a very abusive and traitorous way. He is shown to be extensively callous in his means of manipulation, as he threatened Margalo to get Mrs. Little's ring for him, otherwise he kills Stuart and has him for lunch.
By the time Margalo's loyalty with him wavers, the Falcon's darkest side eventually come to light: an altogether ruthless, unpleasant, and cold-hearted falcon that is even more cruel than suggested by his first impression. He won't hesitate to kill those who stand against or oppose him in any way, which he proved by him almost killing Stuart and Snowbell (despite the fact the latter had done little if anything to provoke him) in ways that exude utter sadism. His cruelty is even further demonstrated by his willingness to kill Margalo and would've easily done it without remorse had Stuart failed to stop him.
History[]
Beginnings[]
The Falcon had found Margalo when she was an orphan and took her to his lair and he shared everything with her, even though he treated her more like a slave rather than a daughter figure.
Stuart Little 2[]
Falcon has been feared by all the other animals living in Manhattan, including Margalo. He then orders Margalo to work as his pawn to scam families for him, including the Littles. One day, when Margalo lands in Stuart Little's car as they were being pursued by the Falcon, she gains the trust of Stuart and the rest of the Little family.
When the Littles were all out the next day, the Falcon comes across Margalo and when he asks for any "valuables" the family has, she tells him that they only have a ring. The Falcon inquired for anything else and Margalo states that they were a kind, loving family that have each other to care for, much to his disgust. The Falcon grows suspicious of Margalo actually beginning to like the family as much as they like her. Margalo remarks that no one else invited her to live with them, to which the Falcon reminds her that he was the one who raised her and that she was there to do as he told her and get the valuables, not to play around.
The more time Margalo spent with the family, she grew to like them and Stuart. The Falcon notices this one night when he spies on her date with Stuart and sees how close they've both become. Finally losing his patience, the Falcon storms in on Margalo the next day when she was bathing in the birdbath and threatens her to fetch Mrs. Little's ring or else he'll eat Stuart. Margalo is forced to go through with this and she steals the ring and leaves later on in the evening. Stuart becomes concerned and worried about Margalo gone missing with only her pin left behind.
Stuart suspects that the Falcon kidnapped her and sneaks out the house with Snowbell to go find her. They find out from Monty that the Falcon lives in the vacant observation deck of the Pishkin Building. Stuart arrives with a small bow and arrow as his defense weapon. He confronts the Falcon and asks him where she is, but then Margalo shows up remorseful for her actions. The Falcon tells Stuart that Margalo's been scamming him and reveals Mrs. Little's ring. As Margalo explains to Stuart that she didn't mean to upset him, the Falcon mocks Stuart saying that he really thought that they were really friends, though Margalo stated that she actually was his friend.
Furious, the Falcon picks up Stuart, takes him outside the building and with a cruel smile, drops him attempting to let him fall to his death. When Margalo tries to come to Stuart's aid, the Falcon restrains her and imprisons her in an empty paint can to provide her with an "attitude adjustment" and leaves. Fortunately, Stuart had landed on a garbage truck, but it takes him to a garbage barge.
Meanwhile, Snowbell, getting worried about Stuart, makes his way to the Pishkin Building and releases Margalo after finding her. However, the Falcon arrives and Snowbell hides in the paint can, but the Falcon spots Snowbell and states that he dislikes "canned food". As he prepares to throw Snowbell off the building, Margalo stops him and states that she's fed up with being his slave before leaving with the ring. The Falcon gives chase, but before he could catch up to her, Stuart arrives in the nick of time in a biplane he wrecked earlier in the film and rescues Margalo. A chase is ensued throughout the city and the Falcon attempts to crash the biplane by picking it up with his talons and ripping off the top, but Stuart manages to take control of the plane again and pulls up.
Stuart leaves Margalo to keep her safe from the danger and faces the Falcon. Stuart reflects light from his mother's ring into the Falcon's eyes, temporarily blinding him and allowing Stuart to parachute away. The Falcon's vision clears too late as Stuart's biplane then rams into him, causing him to lose several of his feathers and explodes into pieces, sending the ruthless bird of prey plummeting several meters out of the sky right into a trash can where Monty was looking for food in.
Stuart Little: The Animated Series[]
The Falcon in the animated series.
In the episode "A Little Bit Country", the Falcon returns. in 2003 He has now made a trio of new crow henchmen and is out to exact revenge on Stuart and his friends. The Falcon chases Stuart, Snowbell and Monty around his Uncle Crenshaw's new farm. Soon, the Falcon corners both Snowbell and Monty. Monty warns the Falcon to back off since cats eat birds, only for the Falcon to scare them with his talons threatening to kill and eat them along with Stuart. Snowbell then corrects Monty, telling the Falcon what he meant to say was "cats meet birds", then introduces himself to the Falcon before begging him to let him live.
Before the Falcon can kill Snowbell and Monty, Stuart distracts the Falcon by taunting him. Causing him to be crashed into a chicken coop and then trapped by Snowbell after falling unconscious. Snowbell then tells the falcon that he has the right to remain silent, as the cat leaves away.
What happened to the Falcon afterwards is completely unknown. But it's possible that he either died of starvation inside the coop or was taken away by the animal control to a better location.

| “ | Falcon: Remember me? Margalo: You scared me. Falcon: What can I say? I'm a scary guy. So, Margalo, what's going on here? You case the joint? Any valuables? Come on, thrill me, chill me. Margalo: They ain't got much. The mom's got a ring, but it's only two carats. Falcon: Alright, okay, fine. So, what else have they got? Margalo: [nervously] Well, you know, not that much. I mean, they mostly just have... each other. Falcon: Awww. A moment while I vomit. Margalo: Why don't we just try somewhere else? Falcon: Why? Because you're set up here! They trust you; they like you. [smiles slyly] Ahh, and maybe, you like them. [Margalo scoffs and tries to fly away, but he follows her] Hey, Margalo, come on, huh? Don't con a conman. Margalo: Well, nobody else ever invited me to live with them. Falcon: Oh, really? Who found a pitiful orphaned bird, and plucked her out of the gutter? Who shared his food with her? And, I hasten to add, taught her a trade? Who? Margalo: You did. Falcon: I did, right! (sternly) Well, then, straighten up and fly right. And remember, you are here on business. You're not here to play around! [flies away] Margalo: Come on, Falcon. When I'm on a job, I never play around. |

Trivia[]
- Falcon also has the heavy brow ridges akin to a hawk; Tony Bancroft, who helped supervise Falcon's animation, said this was to give him a foreboding frowning look. This is one design similarity that Falcon shares with Shan Yu's falcon, Hayabusa, from Disney's 1998 animated film Mulan, which, coincidentally, Tony Bancroft also worked on as a co-director.
- The Falcon raising an orphaned Margalo could be a reference to the fact that falcon puppets are used to feed orphaned birds.
- The Falcon is the sole antagonist in the second film; originally, he was going to have an army of pigeons to help him out.
- In the second movie, the Falcon works alone, but in the TV show, he has crows for henchmen.
- Falcon's attempts to kill Snowbell and Monty shows that he doesn't care about the fact that cats are natural predators to birds like himself.
