Item Number: 014

Anomaly Class: Code Green

Containment Protocol: Anomaly-014 is to be contained in a 4 meter by 4 meter cell. The walls of the cell are to be lined with three inches of copper to block the use of Anomaly-014's psychic abilities. At no point in time is the door to the cell to be opened, as this grants the creature the use of its powers.

Feeding will be done remotely though a small tube in the northernmost wall of the cell (adjacent to the walls of the observation room). Only personnel with a Level 3 Security Clearance of higher may observe.

Anomaly Description: Anomaly-014 superficially resembles a pheasant-sized songbird of the species Menura novaehollandiae (the Superb Lyrebird). In most respects, the anomaly is identical to the average fully-grown male lyrebird, measuring approximately 100 centimeters and weighing 1 kilogram.

Anomaly-014 possesses the remarkable ability to manifest the properties of physical objsects in the surrounding environment. It does this simply by reproducing that object's distinct sound. While nearby witnesses will not observe the manifested objects, as they are invisible, the lyrebird can perform tasks and actions pertaining to those objects, such as cutting down a tree with a nonexistent axe.

While normally docile, Anomaly-014 has been known to use these abilities to attack or even kill those that it deems a threat. Because of this, the walls of its cell have been lined with copper, a material that appears to disrupt or even completely block these "psychic" abilities.

Observations: The following vocalizations have been heard from Anomaly-014. The accompanying notes were observed.

Discovery and Containment: Anomaly-014 was discovered in a zoo in the city of Sydney, Australia. Two previous zookeepers had been killed in gruesome ways. The first was found with claw marks and slash wounds over 60% of her body, supposedly after the lyrebird was heard emitting noises similar to an angered lion. The second was found [DATA EXPUNGED] after witnesses reported hearing the sounds of a blender.
