The Saudi Press Agency reports that total sales at the 2026 National Center for Falcons Auction reached SAR 1,068,000 after the sixth session. The session included the sale of a young peregrine falcon for SAR 121,000, and the agency notes strong participation from falconry enthusiasts. The auction runs through 30 November.

Live bidding

The center receives locally trapped falcons throughout the two-month season. Bidding is broadcast live on television channels and digital media platforms, so audiences across the Kingdom can follow each sale.

Support for trappers

During the trapping season, the center provides logistical support to local falcon trappers. Dedicated regional field teams receive the trappers, arrange accommodation and provide transport to the auction headquarters, where each falcon is offered in competitive public bidding.

For the trade

Buyers, breeders and transporters can use the cumulative figure as a reference point for the season so far. With the auction open until 30 November, further sessions will add to the total, and the published results of each session give a running view of locally trapped peregrine prices.

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.
