This recording was made around 10am, April 5th 2018, at Pioneer Park [lower summit approx 415 feet above sea level]. Pioneer Park is a nature reserve on the outskirts of Cootamundra. A unique location with an abundance of flora and fauna, it is situated to the south west, rising to about 490 feet above sea level. It looks down on the town and has expansive 360 degree views far out to the ranges. The main railway line passes at the bottom, on either side it is flanked by a flour mill and a quarry, all can be heard on this recording.

The Sulphur-crested cockatoo is an incredible bird, and unusual because its very loud shriek is known to have a chaotic acoustic structure. Those recorded here were some distance away, with the odd flyover, and many other local birds are heard in the foreground. 

See Neville Fletcher's freely available classic papers for more info on the chaotic nature of its shrieking :

".. produces an immensely loud shriek that can be shown by analysis to be actually a chaotic oscillation of its syringeal valve"
