00:00 Psychologically, for Burkinabé, the pigeons are the children,
00:04 where everyone gives a couple to their little child in the courtyard.
00:08 So today, it's a challenge for us to change the mentality in relation to this vision.
00:14 I started with Indian bread, then a couple of Segolis,
00:25 and I took it with my brother. As time went on, it started to spread.
00:31 So I integrated other races, such as the King, the Mondain, the Bulans,
00:38 the Voyageurs today, and the Texans.
00:41 The price varies according to certain criteria, such as the size,
00:48 but also certain parameters, such as the disposition of the legs, and so on.
00:53 For Mondain, the price varies between 120,000 and 180,000.
00:59 For the King, the price varies between 60,000 and 125,000.
01:06 For the Voyageurs, the price varies between 15,000 and 30,000.
01:11 It's an ornamental production.
01:13 When we take Mondain, Texans, and Kings,
01:18 we don't draw the transformation, because they're already very expensive for the essentials.
01:25 But we have races such as Segolis,
01:31 which we can afford to eat.
01:34 I accompany my husband in this field at several levels,
01:43 because I take care of the pigeons when he's not there.
01:48 In the morning, when I get up, I check if there's water.
01:51 I put the food in, I look if there's a small problem,
01:55 for example, a disease, and I give him the point when he comes back.
02:00 It's become a passion for me, because I'm here at all times.
02:05 I come in, I watch.
02:12 It's a very sensitive sector, to rain and freshness.
02:17 So, in the rainy season, there's humidity and freshness,
02:22 and diseases develop, such as variole.
02:25 You can get a scissor today, and the next day it'll die.
02:29 But since it's more driven by passion,
02:32 we have the courage to always start from scratch,
02:35 when the losses are extreme.
02:38 But I would also say that it has a psychological impact.
02:41 Every morning, when I come in here, before going to work,
02:44 it's the same day.
02:46 In the evening, even if you have a bad day,
02:49 you come back, you spend your time here, you think of something else.
02:52 On the day of departure, it's too risky to say
02:55 that the breeding of pigeons feeds on Burkina Faso's name,
02:59 because the level of development of Burkina Faso's Colombian culture
03:03 is not the same as in countries like Senegal and Mali,
03:07 where people left the public service to focus on that.
03:11 So, today, it's a challenge for us to change our mentality
03:16 in relation to this vision,
03:18 and especially that this type of breeding is taking our place
03:22 in the market through the introduction of ornamental subjects and others,
03:27 which have also helped to raise the level of Colombian culture.
