Abstract
Jean Delacour (1890-1985) was an outstanding Franco-American ornithologist and aviculturist in the 20th century. He was most famous for his faunistic expeditions, his ornithological research and his speciose living bird collections in Villers-Bretonneux and Clères, with some 3000 individuals in the time between the World Wars. A short biographical sketch is given and the relevance of Delacour's work for today's aviculturists is requested.
