Can anyone here give me an English translation of the German word,
"Vogelsang"?

In Switzerland it's a very common place name, and also can be a family
name.If you look at the Swiss topographical map at
https://map.geo.admin.ch/?lang=en and enter "Vogelsang" as a search
term you will get more than 30 locations with this name.

Note that birdsong is "Vogelgesang", not "Vogelsang".

Songs and poetry have a poetic licence to use ancient, outdated or
gramatically wrong langauge in order to fit the rhythm better.Â* Place
names traditionally persist outdated language usage by a few centuries.

I believe ****ing predates the act :-)
