The Saudi Press Agency reports that three falcons were sold for a combined SAR 369,000 on the tenth night of the 2026 National Center for Falcons Auction. The event continues until 30 November.

The session

The agency gives a total for the night and does not list individual prices or the origin of each bird. Earlier sessions this season have been reported bird by bird, so this entry is best read as a nightly aggregate.

Eligibility rules

According to SPA, the auction accepts only young migratory peregrine falcons caught in Saudi Arabia. Adult peregrine falcons and saker falcons are excluded, a measure the agency says helps preserve their populations.

Broadcast

Auction sessions are broadcast on television and social media platforms, which lets buyers and breeders follow the nightly results as they are published.

For the trade

The combined figure for three birds gives a rough nightly reference for locally trapped juvenile peregrines. With the auction open for several more weeks, further sessions will add to the season record.

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.
