Pilot narrative

Verbatim, de-identified by NASA. Placeholders: ZZZ, X, Y.

After getting a canceled approach clearance due to birds on the runway we executed a non-standard go around procedure and entered the traffic pattern as directed by ATC. Once re-cleared for the approach we turned base and started a descent. During this time a momentary "OBSTACLE" aural was heard and corrected immediately by overriding automation. The rest of the approach and landing continued normally and we debriefed the event. Non standard go around and approach procedure on unfamiliar area. High workload environment. Stay higher on visual approaches to unfamiliar airports.
