The Saudi Press Agency reports that two saker falcons were sold for a combined SAR 476,000 on the third night of the Mongolian falcon auction, held during the International Saudi Falcons and Hunting Exhibition 2026.

The two sales

An adult saker was sold for SAR 116,000. A juvenile saker opened at SAR 100,000 and closed at SAR 360,000. The report is dated 6 October 2026.

Context

The agency notes that this is the second consecutive year in which the exhibition has dedicated an area to Mongolian falcons. The exhibition ran from 1 to 10 October at the Saudi Falcons Club headquarters in Malham, north of Riyadh.

What it means for buyers and breeders

The two lots show how widely prices can differ between an adult and a juvenile bird of the same species on the same evening. A single evening is a narrow sample, and the agency does not give the sex of either bird, so the figures are best read as a reference for the Mongolian segment of the exhibition rather than as a price list.

FAQ · Market

Frequently asked questions: Market

Is the international falcon market a free market?

No. Trade in falcons listed under CITES requires permits before any transaction, issued by the management authorities of the countries concerned.

Are auction record prices representative of the market?

No. Record prices are one-off events. They should not be read as the current price of a bird of the same species.
