Excerpt: Loro Parque Xth Convention 2022 Speaker Profile:
Named in many parts of the world as 'the aviculturist’s aviculturist', Jacobo Lacs was born in Lima, Peru and it is in Panama that he maintains an extraordinary wildlife breeding centre. With parrots as the undisputed protagonists, he keeps little-known species and some, such as the Azuero parakeet Pyrrhura eisenmanni endemic to Panama, which he reproduced under his care for the first time in the world. Other species such as the Blue-headed Macaw Primolius couloni, toucan and other species  have also been bred under his care.
Jacobo keeps extraordinary rarities of parrots with mutations that originated in the wild.
