A falcon of the Qarmousha Jer type "Ultra White" was sold in Saudi Arabia for one million and 750 thousand riyals (about 467 thousand dollars) at an international auction for falcon breeding farms in Mulham north of Riyadh.

This falcon is considered the most expensive "Jer" falcon in the world, and it was purchased by a falconer for nearly half a million dollars, while its original ownership belongs to the American "Pacific Northwest" farm, which is considered the best global falcon farm.

The auction witnessed a long-lasting competition due to the quality of the falcon that was being sold for the first time in the world.

Three falcons were sold on the final night of the auction for one million nine hundred and ninety thousand riyals (about 534 thousand dollars), as the auction started on August 5, and witnessed record sales deals, during which falcon breeding farms presented birds from elite breeds from 14 countries.
