Item #: SCP-4982
Object class: Elucid
Special containment procedures: SCP-4982 is currently not under any containment at the O5 council has found it safe to leave SCP-4982 uncontained. all previous attempts of containment for SCP-4982-1 have failed, including used of but not limited to, 5 in. steel 5mx5mx5m containment cell, various Abrahamic and non-Abrahamic seal runes, plasma containment grid, and use of Thaumiel class SCP-XXX. all attempts end with SCP-4982-1 simply vanishing.
In relations to SCP-4982-2, it is to be under constant surveillance and its output is to be under constant monitoring. In the event that SCP-4982-2 begins outputting harmful content, SCP-4982-2's entrance is to be immediately sealed be level 3 personnel with a 3 in. 6x7 ft. steel barrier. Further instruction will be provided by on site chief personnel.
Description: Scp-4982-1 is a bird of unknown species and origin; Approximate wingspan is 3.5m with a body length of 1m.
anomalous properties are as listed
• It appears to be able to manipulate space to give the illusion of teleportation
• It is able to move at speed of up to 200kmph, although its top speed is still unknown
First known sighting of SCP-4982-1 was 24/3/2017 at the Ultra Music Festival, with reports of a single bird moving at incredible speeds while collecting and consuming a great amount of waste food or “leftovers”. Investigation concluded that not a single trace of edible food, even down to the molecular level, was left behind at the festival site. Bones and rotted food content where left behind, and the bird only took food that was left behind or thrown away. Any food in storage or being eaten was untouched by the bird. Reports of sightings since have increased exponentially since the first incident, including at containment sites, 01, 18 and 37 at mess-halls and containment cells during feeding. first analysis of SCP-4982-1 led scientists to believe that the large consumption of food was to support the creatures’ immense metabolism. Although that was soon disregarded as the creature did not produce any waste product whatsoever, leading scientists to believe that the creatures spatial manipulation characteristic may also take place within the mouth of SCP-4982-1.
Due to the conclusion that the “leftovers” where being transported to another location, a search for SCP-4982-2 commenced. SCP-4982-2 was discovered XX/XX/XXXX in the African province XXXXXXXX. SCP-4982-2 is a temple with a length of 20m width of 16m and height of 12m. The locals believe this temple to be a very sacred location but where more than happy to share it with our scientists and analysts. carbon dating has led its origin to about 12,000 B.C.E. inside the temple is a single corridor lit with torches that do not extinguish. Inscribed throughout the temple is an ancient dialect that that does not concur with any previous or alien civilizations. At the end of the corridor there is a primitive carving of a bird believed to be SCP-4982-1, beneath the carving is an opening 2m X 3m the depth of said opening is believed to be an inter-dimensional space that is void in nature. When someone places their hands, plate, or bowl into the void they will bring out some sort of food product. This process can be repeated over and over again with no limit per person.
The current conclusion of the investigation of SCP-4982 is that 4982-1’s mouth has the same dimension that is in the opening of the temple. The motive is still unknown as to why 4982-1 supplies 4982-2 with food although the possibility of it being [DATA REDACTED]. Further investigation is needed.

Addendum 4982-2 Written document:
Overview: Dr. Crocker’s assessment after an interview with the previous caretaker of the temple, a native villager by the name of XXXXXXX.
Time 1300
Location XXXXXXX
Date 11/02/2018
This is my final report regarding SCP-4982-1 and 4982-2. My conclusion is that SCP-4982 is harmless and after some deliberation with the locals, actually quite benevolent. The village is fairly under developed but due to the grand surplus of food from the temple is growing quite rapidly. Food distribution is headed by the village chief who the grounds keeper says has been around for the past century and a half although that claim was proven to be false. The village has not been relying on the temple until just recently as evident by signs of rudimentary agriculture and livestock. When I asked the grounds keeper about this he says that the temple just appeared one day, and that a child hopped into the opening and disappeared. When the village heard of this the chief was sent to investigate. When he reached in he pulled the child out and in that child’s hand was cake, this baffled the villagers and took them some time to understand how it worked. But once they did a great loss of life occurred within the first few weeks due to overeating.
As it stands, approximately 5% of the world’s population has seen SCP-4982-1 at some point or another, I expect that the percentage will raise to about 50% by the end of 2020. It is also estimated that it collects anywhere north of 200 tons of leftovers per day, leading us to believe there may be more temples out there. I am yet to see SCP-4982-1 myself, but the “bird” is quickly becoming commonplace in the world and may eventually lose its SCP classification due to that fact. Despite there being literally millions of sightings of it daily, there are very few images of SCP-4982-1.
Current information does not show that SCP-4982 poses a threat and therefore observation by level 2 or 3 personnel should suffice.
Dr. Crocker
