544k	Hildi noticed that the waterwheel sounded different from her last visit. Doing several soundwalks in a place over time makes her more aware of acoustic changes: she made a similar note in the entrance area. Note how prominent the air-conditioning sounds in this excerpt. You can also hear parrots in the distance, as well as other birds.
352k	Like the waterwheel, this bamboo bridge creates a sound not normally heard in northern countries. In this excerpt, I am walking across the bridge. Notice the dense interweaving of noise bands (the water is more prominent than the air-conditioning here) and more tonal sounds such as the birdsong. Mingled with the sounds of my feet on the bamboo, this complex of sounds creates a dense and timbrally interesting soundscape.
864k	Our interaction with the parrots in the conservatory was hilarious, particularly with the one pictured here. As soon as we entered the conservatory, we could hear them calling "hello" occasionally, and whistling. Later, on hearing a child shriek, this parrot started shrieking in the way people do when their laughter overcomes them. This made us laugh, which encouraged the parrots to increase the volume and intensity of their vocalizations. Other people then became involved. It is too bad I can only include a short excerpt here. The only time that the parrots stopped was when Hildi came close with the microphone, although the camera did not seem to slow them down.
