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.

Alcini — The entry claims Uria guillemots can dive as deep as 100 m (330 ft), the deepest of any auk, but the deepest diving auk is actually the thick-billed murre (Uria lomvia) which has been recorded diving over 200 meters, and common murres (Uria aalge) also exceed
Cyclopsittini — The entry incorrectly lists the genus Nannopsittacus instead of the recognized genus Psittaculirostris.
Cyclopsittini — The entry contains a contradiction by comparing Cyclopsitta to Nannopsittacus instead of to Psittaculirostris.
Forpini — The tribe Forpini was not established by Friedrich Boie; Boie introduced the genus Forpus in 1858, but the tribe was erected later by other taxonomists.
Forpini — The number of species in Forpus is generally recognized as 7 or 8 by most authorities (e.g., IOC World Bird List lists 8 species), not 9.
Geospizini — The entry states that the first collection of these finches was during the second voyage of HMS Beagle when Darwin visited, but the first collection by Europeans was actually during the first voyage of HMS Beagle (1826–1830) by Captain FitzRoy and crew.
Geospizini — The entry says John Gould identified 12 species of ground finches from Darwin's specimens, but Gould's report included multiple subgroups (ground finches, tree finches, etc.), not solely ground finches.
Micropsittini — The tribe Micropsittini was not defined by René-Primevère Lesson in 1831; Lesson described the genus Micropsitta in 1831, but the tribe Micropsittini was established later by other taxonomists.
Platycercini — The claim that the budgerigar's closest relatives are the lories and lorikeets is incorrect; modern molecular studies place the budgerigar in its own tribe (Melopsittacini) or as a basal member of the parrot family.
Platycercini — The statement about extinct Cyanoramphus species is inconsistent between sections, omitting the Lord Howe parakeet and Macquarie parakeet from the DID YOU KNOW section.
Polyplectronini — The genus Polyplectron was introduced by Temminck in 1813, not 1807.
Polyplectronini — The claim that peacock-pheasants are not genetically related to pheasants is factually incorrect; they are within the pheasant family Phasianidae and closely related to other pheasants and peafowl.
Psittaculini — The genus Lophopsittacus includes the Mauritius grey parrot, whose classification is disputed. — The correct common name for Lophopsittacus is the broad-billed parrot, not the 'Mauritius grey parrot'; the Mauritius grey parrot is a different extinct species (L
