Beautiful angelic angels

[SEEKING GREENLIGHTS] SCP-ANGEL-J

Seeking Greenlights: Yes

Page Type: Joke

Genre (Optional): Comedy?

Elevator Pitch: The Foundation has locked up angels: pure, beautiful creatures who sing in languages and voices, unheard of and unreplicable by men. These angels are placed in small cages, where they suffer from pure boredom, simply being stared at, unable to live the wonderful lives they deserve!

Central Narrative: Researcher's hearts are all captured by these beautiful, innocent angels, and they all plead with their superiors to give them a better life, far, far away from bare cages and factory-produced pellet-food-thingies. But their superiors refuse, before they finally reach the compromise, of allowing these angels to spread their wide, glorious wings and fly around the site! With supervision to make sure that they don't get hurt, and to make sure that they don't break something.

Hook/Attention-Grabber (Optional): Oh. What's that. They're not angels? Oh yeah. They're b i r b s.

Additional Notes:

Birbs aside, I'm not even sure if this could work as a -J SCP. I just woke up at 2 AM because my birbs fell off their perches and were flapping around in the dark, and I came up with this idea. If it won't work, then please feel free to let me know!

i think this could work if you really made the bird's biology sound alien. and since birds arent human, thats pretty easy to do. i also think you should have the reveal that theyre birds be an image in a collapsible just to avoid having the joke spoiled in the beginning. i do also think that maybe they shouldnt be allowed to roam the entire site, and instead be kept to a single large room or something like that. just to avoid them being hurt and also depicting a realistic compromise.

all that being said, i will greenlight this because i think its cute and can totally work. dont forget to reach out to a member of the butterfly squad or go to #thecritters on irc for your second greenlight.

These two look like carbon copies of the budgies I have at home- personality seems to match up as well.

Echoing Nico's sentiment, describe any actions and appearance mentioned for these birds in the most unhuman, unnormal way possible. If you can, run any said descriptions by other critters to see if they can guess what exactly you're trying to depict-you need a subtle balance between not-too-evident, but still decipherable.

That being said, here's a greenlight, and this is something I'd be willing to look at as a draft!
