Item#: XXXX
Level1
Containment Class:
euclid
Secondary Class:
simpatico
Disruption Class:
keneq
Risk Class:
caution

Special Containment Procedures:

SCP-XXXX is held in a special reinforced animal holding enclosure that has undergone level 2 reinforcement against blunt and puncture damage and low level soundproofing. Reasonable precautions are to be taken to isolate SCP-XXXX from any particularly disruptive or destructive noises. *See Incident Report XXXX-4

Should SCP-XXXX need to be relocated, it should be moved in a level 3 soundproof container.

SCP-XXXX is to be provided a suitable diet (see guidelines on parrot handling), chew toys, and regular human interaction.

Description:

SCP-XXXX presents as a Salmon-crested cockatoo, also known as a moluccan cockatoo. Subject's appearance, intelligence, and behavior do not deviate from what could be considered typical of its species.

Anomalous behavior manifests when the subject attempts to mimic various voices or noises. Noises associated with various phenomena will have effects based on that noise. Hammer sounds can crush fingers and pound nails into a board while Squirt gun sounds will spray water out of SCP-XXXX's mouth, etc. In lieu of direct effects associated with the given sound, people in proximity to the subject will treat mimicked sounds as if they were the real thing. I.E. Voices, screams, microwave beeps, etc.

SCP-XXXX's cognitive effects are considered low risk as the effect is limited to a superficial recognition of the sound being mimicked. That is, the mimicked sound will immediately register as the real thing, but people cognoscente of the subject's abilities can (usually) discern the subject's mimickry from reality. Affected persons do not display changes in behavior, do not suffer any long term effects, will refuse any sufficiently aberrant orders.

Note: Between 01/23/2020 and 08/01/2020, SCP-XXXX cohabitated with Dr. Mourenheiser in on-site housing for site 6.

Dr Bennet Notes: SCP-XXXX also seems to be capable of attaining noise levels that should not be possible for an animal of its size. Subject has been measured attaining at least 130 decibels.

Dr. Mourenheiser Notes: Bennet… That's normal for its species.

Dr Bennet Notes (to self): Look into possible anomalous properties of C. moluccensis.
