He is right, in some classic poem like "Eneide" mermaid are described as "half-bird and half-woman" in this poem the main group get attacked by the "mermaids" from above literally shitting over their table and foods forcing them to starve.
I was also lost when i heard about that for the first time in upper school (where this poem is typicaly studied in my country) i think back in time where the only information are oral or book there was a misidisformation about different myth and country, likely the original mermaid was a sort of harpy (also because in the oddisey their main not physical caratheristic was the melodic voice, much more easy to associate to a bird than a fish, there alo some old pots with ulisses togheter birdl-ike mermaid. If i find some screen i post it) probably the bird was converted into fish in the middle age under the influence of nordic myth.
