[QUOTE="Björn Bergenholtz, post: 4055794, member: 113430"] [b]The "american" Jean Delacour[/b] As I'm about to finish my entry regarding the well-known (Frenchman) Jean Delacour ... [U][COLOR="Blue"]Clarification[/COLOR][/U], Jean (Théodore) Delacour (1890–1985) is sometimes called an "American -", or "US ornithologist" (alt. ditto Aviculturist), as for example on/in English [I]Wikipedia[/I]. This is not entirely false, even if he was French "to the bone", as French as anyone can be (he was a connoisseur of food and drink, he loved his [I]Canard[/I] [duck] [I]à la rouennaise[/I], or his [I]foie gras[/I], as well as great wines and old champagne), born and raised in France, as well as living there most of his life, [B]but[/B] he did (also) have an American (US) citizenship: post-WWII, after having accepted a position at the [I]Bronx Zoo[/I], in New York [actually his very first (paid) job, as an employee, hired for work, that is], that started in 1941. His (many) years in the US also included a myriad of other (non-paid) positions and assignments ..., though, of course, he didn't need the/any money, he was rich enough ([I]i.e.[/I] overabundantly Wealthy), from the very start of his Life. [I]Juste est juste[/I]/Fair is fair. Björn PS. If anyone's curious of "Delacour’s crested fireback ([I]Lophura ignita macartneyi[/I])" itself, see [URL="https://zooinstitutes.com/animals/delacours-crested-fireback-zoo-antwerpen-9199.html"][U]here[/U][/URL] or [URL="https://www.joelsartore.com/bir069-00155/"][U]here[/U][/URL]. PPS. If anyone feel like looking at [I]Monsieur[/I]/Mr Jean Delacour himself (at the age of 93, closing in on 94), as well as listen to him (and the racket surrounding his Chateau Clères), see the following interview on [I]YouTube[/I] ([URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=71&v=j683pJ-B960"][U]here[/U][/URL]), by Tim Lovel, all in English (with a strong French accent, on Delacour's part).
