You are confusing your female-associated monsters. Sirens were those mythological sea nymphs in Greek mythology that sang such songs that anyone who heard them had to approach, which caused the ships to sink and the sailors to drown, but they weren't "half-bird". Those were the Harpies.
The siren song will lure sailors to crash a ship upon the rocks or drown attempting to reach them.
They were dangerous winged women who would sing to sailors. The sailors would dive into the water to pursue the Sirens then drown. They were the daughters of the river god Achelous, so were goddesses themselves.

No, the sirens sing to sailors who pass by islands with cliffs and either they jump ship and drown unable to reach the sirens atop the cliffs, or a sailor might navigate the ship into the cliffs to reach them thus killing everyone.
You know! The idea is initially offensive but considering how 'sirens' are alleged to wreak ships and drown sailors the notion is not without some justification. Still, I shrink from the thought of hunting down merfolk as we do vampires.
