**Special Containment Procedures:** No actions are to be taken against SCP-6184-1 by Foundation personnel at this time. Direct witnesses to SCP-6184-1 activity are to be amnesticised as necessary. In the event that SCP-6184-1 activity begins to slow or cease due to varying reasons, SCP-6184's behaviour is to be monitored with evacuations of affected areas performed when needed.

SCP-6184 is considered uncontainable; however, due to the public perception that it is non-anomalous, no procedures are deemed necessary. 

**Description:** SCP-6184 refers to European herring gulls, a subspecies of gull commonly found in coastal areas across Europe. All biological characteristics of SCP-6184 instances are non-anomalous; however, all observed behaviour is influenced by SCP-6184-1.

SCP-6184-1 is an avian entity that is biologically identical to a standard European herring gull that possesses immortality. The subject is capable of instantaneous or near-instantaneous travel to any coastal location in Europe. If SCP-6184-1 is removed from these coastal areas, the entity loses this ability. It possesses the ability to speak all commonly used European languages, as well as communicate with European herring gulls.

When SCP-6184-1 is in the presence of SCP-6184 instances, they will cease all aggressive behaviours related to obtaining food from humans. It performs this through verbal communications at frequencies undetectable through the human ear. SCP-6184-1 appears to have an innate knowledge of all SCP-6184 instances' behaviours.

If SCP-6184-1 is absent from an area for an extended period of time, SCP-6184 behaviour will grow increasingly more aggressive. Instances will begin to physically attack individuals to obtain food, and also breach enclosed spaces to access additional food sources. Despite these behavioural changes, SCP-6184 instances have never been observed to attack an individual who isn't in possession of food. In severe cases, SCP-6184 instances' behaviour has led to the death of various individuals. It is currently unknown whether SCP-6184-1 is the origin of this behavioural suppression or a response to a pre-existing anomalous phenomenon. All SCP-6184 instances that currently do not reside in coastal areas of Europe do not develop aggressive behaviours. 

In areas where SCP-6184-1 is absent for an extended period, new instances appear by gradually emerging from the pelvic region of existing SCP-6184 instances. This manifestation typically occurs without visible trauma, and affected subjects do not respond to or acknowledge the event. During post-mortem examinations, an unidentified substance (SCP-6184-A) is found in the internal pelvic region of affected subjects. This substance has no known chemical structure or origin. Internal structures of newly manifested instances share chemical similarities to this substance, though consistency varies. These new instances demonstrate greater intelligence than the average SCP-6184 instance.

The only known method of preventing this behaviour is to allow SCP-6184-1 to continue its current behaviour. It is believed that if SCP-6184-1 is unable to access SCP-6184 instances, these instances' behaviour will become increasingly aggressive to the point where consumption of food near SCP-6184 instances would result in the death of the individual.

No fossil records of SCP-6184 instances exist prior to █████. All fossils previously believed to be SCP-6184 instances were confirmed not to be due to an absence of the mentioned unknown substance. Confirmed fossils show high amounts of this substance present in the skull's interior and absorbed within the pelvic bones. All traces of SCP-6184-A disappear 24 hours after the death of the subject.

**Addendum:** SCP-6184's anomalous nature was discovered in 1994, following observations of a European herring gull having an anomalous control over other gulls, with these observations occurring in various coastal areas. Foundation personnel were able to retrieve SCP-6184-1 and confirm its anomalous properties as the subject began to communicate with the personnel, demanding not to be contained. The following interview was conducted upon SCP-6184-1's containment at Site-91.

> **Interviewed:** SCP-6184-1
> 
> **Interviewer:** Dr. Anderson
> 
> **Foreword:** Multiple interview attempts had been made prior to the following, however SCP-6184-1 refused to cooperate. The following is the first and only successful interview.
> 
> **<Begin Log>**
> 
> **SCP-6184-1:** Sir, I need you to let me go.
> 
> **Dr. Anderson:** I cannot authorise that, I need to ask you a few questions.
> 
> **SCP-6184-1:** Human, allow me to continue my work against those things.
> 
> **Dr. Anderson:** What are these things you are referring to?
> 
> **SCP-6184-1:** I believe you call them Seagulls. They are parasites, creatures, things. They don't belong here, yet they won't leave, and for every second you keep me here, they gain another to pillage your coasts.
> 
> **Dr. Anderson:** Are you saying that Seagulls become dangerous if you are not near them?
> 
> **SCP-6184-1:** Correct, and what they will do to your kind if left unchecked, is a reason to let me go.
> 
> **Dr. Anderson:** How do you prevent this from occurring?
> 
> **SCP-6184-1:** I don't want your organisation to possess that knowledge.
> 
> **Dr. Anderson:** We will observe the Seagulls' behaviours and if they grow aggressive as you've stated we will release you, however during this observation period you will stay contained here.
> 
> **SCP-6184-1:** Understood.
> 
> **<End Log>**
> 
> **Closing Statement:** The Following table showcases recorded effects of SCP-6184-1's absence in █████████, Wales.

------

||~ Time Since Absence (HOURS) ||~ RESULT ||~ INCREASE IN SCP-6184 POPULATION ||
||= 1 Hour ||< All individuals who ate food in exposed areas reported flocks of SCP-6184 instances attempting to eat it. ||= 5% ||
||= 4 Hours ||< Various restaurants reported SCP-6184 instances entering and stealing food from customers.  ||= 15% ||
||= 10 Hours ||< Individuals eating food in both exposed and non-exposed areas reported being violently attacked by flocks of SCP-6184 instances and having their food stolen. SCP-6184 instances began to enter buildings by breaking windows or breaking doors. ||= 30% ||
||= 18 Hours ||< Violent attacks by SCP-6184 instances began to result in the death of the affected individuals. Areas that regularly prepare food reported instances nesting near stoves and ovens. These instances began to harass chefs until they prepared food, showing unnatural persistence. ||= 60% ||
||= 24 Hours ||< Area considered uninhabitable due to the quantity of SCP-6184 instances and extreme lethal behaviour towards any individual who attempted to eat. Food storage areas were raided by SCP-6184 instances. Several instances began to migrate to nearby non-coastal areas. ||= 210% ||

SCP-6184-1 activity has been allowed to continue beyond this point to date.
