I think the trick with the loops is that you find ones that are 30 seconds to a minute long, then loop a few of them with different loop points. That way, the sounds (over time) seem more random and realistic. I typically would blend like this: For a tropical rainforest, loops of:

Water or stream gurgling
Crickets
Jungle bird calls
ambient jungle sounds
fake bird calls with various mechanical devices.

I will try to find a link to some of these bird call devices.
