Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in the site-19 aviary wing and cared for like a non-anomalous yellow-naped parrot. All vocalizations produced by SCP-XXXX are to be recorded and documented in Log XXXX-1. Personnel with immediate family or friends who are victims of unsolved kidnappings are not permitted access to SCP-XXXX, to prevent a conflict of interests.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a male yellow-naped parrot1. SCP-XXXX frequently makes vocalizations when prompted with a treat2. These vocalizations always consist of a name followed by an address. The name and address refer to a kidnapping victim whose case went unsolved, and their current location. To date, SCP-XXXX has only spoken the names of victims that were still alive when rescued by foundation personnel, and only victims within the borders of the country SCP-XXXX is in at the time of the vocalization. If no address is available, SCP-XXXX will vocalize GPS coordinates instead.

Apart from the vocalizations, SCP-XXXX shows no signs of higher intelligence, and is generally consistent with other members of its species, both physiologically and behaviourally. SCP-XXXX has been allowed to mate with another of its kind, and the resulting offspring were non-anomalous.

Addendum: When first prompted by foundation personnel, SCP-XXXX vocalized: “[NAME_1]. 18429, 123 fake street, Portland, Oregon.”
Upon researching the name given by SCP-XXXX, it was discovered that [NAME_1] was the victim of an unsolved kidnapping from 2015. A Mobile Task Force (maybe too extreme) was dispatched to the given address, the home of [NAME_2]. They found [NAME_1] restrained in the basement. Both were questioned about SCP-XXXX, with neither having any knowledge of it or it’s properties. Both were amnesized, and returned to the house they had been found in, where the local authorities were promptly contacted under the guise of an anonymous tip. [NAME_1] was rescued by police 10 minutes later, and [NAME_2] is now facing 25 years in prison.
