This is a tough one. You're not likely to find human simulations for download. There are sources for real bird and monkey sounds. Google and Itunes can get you there. Things offered under Creative Commons licensing might work for you. As a matter of ethics, you really should be scrupulous in crediting sources. I've put downloaded sounds into recordings, and worried about it enough to go back and pull those tracks out, then replaced them with my own vocal animal simulations. If you have vocal transformation plugins for your recording software, that helps. Try your own simulations, and play with feminizing, masculinizing, and pitch shifting. Oh, and plenty of reverb! Try it when no one else is around, because you're going to sound incredibly silly. Imitate stuff off the Martin Denny albums for practice. I know this sounds ridiculous, but practice will bring control. Don't let self-consciousness hamper you. If all this sounds like too much effort, you may be stuck. But really....it's fun.
