I've also seen them portrayed as mermaids by the less classically inclined. And, since really the Sirens are secondary to the plot (a metaphor, actually), I decided that keeping the fishy-feeling was more important that strict accuracy.
ETA: maybe I'll just omit the word "mermaid" and if I cap Siren, it won't matter whether it's birds or fish that's their body.
