There is an error. At the end of every post of birds that I do, it says "All images from my work. Scientific name and data extracted from the application "Aves Argentinas" approved by the National Ministry."

Our source is correct. The same text is in that source.
If copied from somewhere else, it is also plagiarism.
The source that you provided is generic and ambiguous as no one is able to verify it unless they install that app.
Besides, owning the app does not make you the author of the text and gives you the right to monetise it.
Even if you provide the source of the text, it simply makes it a copypasta of text since you did not any significant, original writing in the article.

I will do a general check of everything as I usually do to avoid this kind of errors, anyway I take responsibility since you cannot have access to such application, so I understand that checking it is debatable. Even having to change data that were wrongly described, and counting on the fact that it was indeed the correct species. Anyway I appreciate the warning and attention.
