  "account": "Two Saker falcons fetched a combined total of 476,000 riyals at the third night of the Mongolian Falcon Auction during the Saudi International Falcon and Hunting Exhibition 2026. The auction, part of the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center in Malham, north of Riyadh, began with an adult Saker selling for 116,000 riyals. A juvenile Saker, opening at 100,000 riyals, was ultimately sold for 360,000 riyals. The Saudi International Falcon and Hunting Exhibition has featured a Mongolian falcon section for two consecutive years, showcasing the popularity and distinct qualities of these birds among falconers. Mongolian Saker falcons are prized for their size, long wingspan, stamina, and color variations. The auction presents falconers with the opportunity to view and bid on these birds in person, highlighting the international appeal of falconry at the exhibition.",
