A young peregrine falcon sold for SAR 221,000 on the fifth night of the National Center for Falcons auction

The Saudi Press Agency reports that a young peregrine falcon was sold for SAR 221,000 on the fifth night of the 2026 National Center for Falcons auction, held on the evening of 19 October. The auction runs until 30 November.

The sale

Bidding opened at SAR 60,000 and closed at SAR 221,000, more than three and a half times the opening bid. The agency gives no further detail on the bird or the buyer.

Broadcast

The proceedings are shown on television channels and on social media platforms, so falconers and other enthusiasts can follow each evening without attending in person.

Context

Earlier sessions of the same auction are covered in our report on the fourth session, where two falcons sold for a combined SAR 374,000. A single result is a reference point for wild-caught juvenile peregrines, not a market price, and each evening stands on its own.
