We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Vasa parrot — The entry states 'four species' of vasa parrot in the genus Coracopsis, but as of widely accepted taxonomy (e.g., IOC World Bird List), the genus Coracopsis contains three species: the greater vasa parrot (Coracopsis vasa), the lesser vasa parrot (Coracopsis n
Amsterdam albatross — The claim that 'James Clements does not recognize the Amsterdam albatross as a species' is outdated; Clements/eBird now lists Diomedea amsterdamensis as a separate species.
Amsterdam albatross — The claim that 'the SACC has a proposal on the table to split the species' is outdated; the SACC has already accepted the split.
Brown booby — The entry states that brown boobies nest only on the ground, but they also nest on cliffs and rocky ledges in some locations.
Brown booby — The entry claims that juvenile plumage already resembles that of adults, but juvenile brown boobies have a distinct brown head, neck, and upperparts with a white belly, unlike the adult's more uniform brown body and white belly/breast contrast.
Flesh-footed shearwater — The alternative name 'sable shearwater' is listed as 'proposed 2024' in the STATS section, but this is an invented claim with no established canon or widely-known source confirming such a proposal in 2024.
Flesh-footed shearwater — The entry states 'Another 500 pairs breed on St Paul Island in the Indian Ocean' in the LORE section, but the claim of 500 pairs breeding there is not supported by widely-known or authoritative sources on flesh-footed shearwater breeding colonies.
Greater crested tern — The wingspan is listed as 125–130 cm, but the actual wingspan of the greater crested tern is typically 100–130 cm, so the listed range is too narrow and the lower end is too high.
Greater crested tern — The subspecies T. b. thalassinus is said to winter on the east African coast north to Kenya and Somalia, but this subspecies actually breeds in the Indian Ocean and its wintering range is not specifically restricted to that area; the statement is misleadingly
Lesser frigatebird — The entry states that the name 'frigatebird' probably derives from their habit of harassing other seabirds, but it actually derives from the French 'frégate' (a type of warship).
Lesser frigatebird — The entry says breeding occurs between May and December in the Australian region, but it typically breeds from May to October.
Lesser noddy — The entry states the lesser noddy is 'also called the sooty noddy,' but the sooty noddy is a different species (Onychoprion fuscatus), not an alternate common name for the lesser noddy.
Lesser noddy — The entry claims the lesser noddy was 'once classified as a subspecies of the black noddy (Anous minutus),' but historically the lesser noddy was often considered a subspecies of the brown noddy (Anous stolidus) or treated as a separate species; the black nodd
Masked booby — The entry states the masked booby does not occur in the eastern Atlantic or eastern Pacific, but it does occur in both regions (e.g., Ascension Island, St. Helena, Galápagos Islands, Clipperton Island).
Masked booby — The LORE section says dactylatra refers to 'splayed wingtips', but it actually refers to black wingtips resembling fingers.
