Very nice.  As a second bounce of interpretation, one could reflect that all the animals mentioned are lovers (would-be, anyway).  I'd say frogs sing with their briskets, but it's not a very romantic or humanoid part (g).

And birds sing with the syrinx, but aside from having no human equivalent they're all asleep... except perhaps the night heron.

Thanks for posting!
