According to Saudi Press Agency, the first falcon, captured in the Al-Aqra area of Arar, was brought to the auction by falconer Mnawer Al-Juhani and his brothers. Bidding for this bird started at SAR60,000, and it eventually sold for SAR216,000.
The second falcon, also a juvenile peregrine captured in Al-Safaniyah, was presented by falconer Omar Nayef Al-Azmi. This bird's bidding also began at SAR60,000, and it was sold for SAR166,000.
The auction exclusively features juvenile migratory peregrine falcons captured within Saudi Arabia, excluding adult peregrine and saker falcons. This approach aims to support sustainability and preserve falcon populations.
