Urban explorers thought they hit the jackpot: an untouched skyscraper ripe for the picking! But little did Rick and his crew know, this abandoned building wasn't just empty – it housed a nest of terrifying, bird-like creatures with human-ish faces and a serious beak problem. Thinking they were clever, these thrill-seekers used a silly trick – playing birdsong in reverse – to scare off the screeching beasties.

What happened next? Instead of running, they decided to loot the monsters' nest, finding weird trinkets, stolen snacks, and… giant, creepy eggs! Jess, the brains (or so they thought), had the brilliant idea to keep the monsters scared and claim the building as their own personal trophy.

Fast forward a few months, and that trophy has become the ultimate prison. Our "brave" explorers are now basically full-time caretakers for a growing brood of horrifying harpies. Rick's got a whole sound system blasting reversed tunes just to keep the creatures confined to the upper floors. They're stealing food to keep their feathery overlords (and their unsettlingly intelligent babies) fed.

But here's the kicker: these aren't your average dumb monsters. One of them is actually learning. It's figuring out the humans' silly sound trick, and when that happens… well, let's just say those viral fame dreams will turn into a monstrous last meal. They outsmarted the harpies once, but now they're trapped, forever bound to the creatures they thought they controlled. Will they escape their bizarre captivity, or will they become harpy chow? Tune in to find out… if you dare!
