SCP-XXXX infected blue jay.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-XXXX are to be kept in standard avi one arched birdcages in a soundproof containment chamber. Containment chamber is to be checked for leaks and cracks on a bi-weekly basis. Time spent inside SCP-XXXX's containment chamber is to be limited to a maximum of 2 hours. Any foundation personnel required to work in its containment chamber over this limit are required to wear noise-cancelling headphones.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an anomalous memetic phenomenon affecting the common American blue jay bird. Upon SCP-XXXX infection the blue jay will begin to sing a song designated SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 is the children's nursery rhyme, twinkle twinkle little star. Should an SCP-XXXX infected bird be around other non-infected birds. The non-SCP-XXXX infected birds will also start singing SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX infected birds will sing the song until they eventually either starve or dehydrate to death.

SCP-XXXX-1 is an audible cognitohazardous non-memetic phenomenon. Should a subject here SCP-XXXX-1 they will come under its anomalous effect designated SCP-XXXX-2. Upon hearing SCP-XXXX-1 from an SCP-XXXX infected bird SCP-XXXX-2 subjects will experience extended states of euphoria. SCP-XXXX is currently being researched as a tool for improving staff morale and mental health. This effect does not occur when an audio recording of SCP-XXXX-1 is played back to the subject.

Provided the subject is only in the vicinity of SCP-XXXX infected birds for a maximum period of 2 hours. The subject will return to a normal state. However, any period of exposure beyond this time limit will result in total emotional expungement. In such a case the subject will not be able to experience any other emotions besides euphoric emotions indefinitely. Up to 70% of cases under permanent states of SCP-XXXX-2 infection have resulted in the suicide of the subject. The other 30% of cases have needed to be contained in psychiatric care facilities on a permanent basis.
