[[>]] [[module Rate]] [[/>]] **Item #:** SCP-3428 **Object Class:** Euclid **Special Containment Procedures:** Reports regarding the discovery of SCP-3428 are to be investigated immediately, and the instance is to be secured as soon as possible. Should it activate before being properly secured, Mobile Task Force Alpha-21 ("DDT Did Nothing Wrong") is to be sent in to subdue and capture the instance. Class-A amnestics are to be administered to all witnesses. SCP-3428 instances in custody are to be submerged in soil unless needed for experimentation. Testing involving SCP-3428 requires approval from SCP-3428's Head Researcher (currently Jared ████), and must be submitted 6 days in advance. **Description:** SCP-3428 are crude statues of hummingbirds with wingspans no larger than 5 meters. "[[[SCP-1285|CtM]]]" is engraved upon the underside of each instance. Individual instances differ slightly in make with one another, although most instances are composed of scrap metal and polyester fabric. SCP-3428 are typically found around .5 to 1.5 m underground, either in archaeological dig sites or urban construction areas. While buried underneath at least .5 m of soil, SCP-3428 remains inert. Approximately 5 to 10 days after being unearthed, SCP-3428 will spontaneously animate. Behavior varies between instances, although most have shown destructive tendencies upon animating. Instances of SCP-3428 will generally only cause damage if the act of doing so is clearly visible. It is rare for instances of SCP-3428 to outright attack humans. Although SCP-3428's crude physiology renders them unable to feed, instances have been observed attempting to scavenge for food and drink, much of which lies outside the typical trochilidae diet. **Addendum:** SCP-3428 instances of note are listed here: ||~ Instance ||~ Animation Date ||~ Area ||~ Behavior ||~ Notes || || SCP-3428-1 || 13/3/1983 || Dijon, France || Instance was uncovered during scheduled maintenance of a ████-████ factory. By the time agents arrived, SCP-3428-1 had nearly leveled the structure.|| This was the first SCP-3428 occurrence. SCP-3428-1 was severely damaged during capture. || || SCP-3428-5 || 19/2/1985 || New Orleans, Louisiana || SCP-3428-5 was found harassing alligators outside of a sugar plantation, and sustained serious damage before being secured. || SCP-3428-5 appeared to be wearing a Mardi Gras mask and beads. Investigation into the possibility of a deliberate unearthing is underway. || || SCP-3428-16 || 13/11/1990 || Burbank, California || Upon waking, SCP-3428-16 headed towards [REDACTED] Studios before becoming distracted by a █████Co delivery truck. || Attached to SCP-3428-16 was a loudspeaker. As soon as SCP-3428-16 animated, the loudspeaker began playing //Night on Bald Mountain//[[footnote]]This instance of SCP-3428 had an [[[SCP-4998]]] instance for █████ on its side.[[/footnote]]. || || SCP-3428-46 || 12/8/2005 || Site 56 || SCP-3428-46 dug itself out of the ground and proceeded towards Site 56's front entrance. Its attempts to force itself through ended when the automatic security system decapitated it. || SCP-3428-46 is the first instance to unearth itself without observed human assistance. In addition, SCP-3428-46's insides housed a nest of wasps, which proceeded to fly out after SCP-3428-46's destruction and unsuccessfully attack a soft drink vending machine. || || SCP-3428-49 || 12/5/2007 || Site ██ || [REDACTED] || Cross-testing between SCP-3428 and other avian SCP objects is strictly prohibited from this point. || || SCP-3428-59 || 23/6/2013 || Jackson, Ohio || After waking, SCP-3428-59 knocked over several power lines before attempting to destroy a soft drink vending machine. However, upon contact, SCP-3428-59 immediately stopped and fell apart. || After SCP-3428-59's destruction, witnesses reported an unidentified male voice saying "Feel the buzz. Chill out with a █████.". An investigation of █████Co is underway. || [[footnoteblock]] [[div class="footer-wikiwalk-nav"]] [[=]] << [[[SCP-3427]]] | SCP-3428 | [[[SCP-3429]]] >> [[/=]] [[/div]] [[include :scp-wiki:component:license-box]] [[include :scp-wiki:component:license-box-end]]
