Miscellaneous Birds Codexery — Data & Quality

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.

Last full accuracy audit: 2026-08-30 · 7 entries checked · 2 flagged · 3 issues confirmed · 2 corrected · 1 still open

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Crested penguin — The lore says Eudyptes means 'fine diver,' but it actually means 'true diver.'

Darwin's finches — The entry states that John Gould reported 14 species of finches on 10 January, but historical records indicate he identified 12 or 13 species, not 14.

Darwin's finches — The entry says '25 of the 26 land birds were new and distinct forms,' which misleadingly implies a precise total of 26 land bird specimens, whereas historical accounts do not standardly cite that exact total.
