What kind of literary device is this?
What kind of literary device is "trill" in this context?
The lonely bird grew to love its lonely protector, and during the day it would sit from time to time on some rainshoot or other abutment and trill forth its sweetest music in grateful thanks for its nightly shelter.
(This is an except from Saki's "The Image of the Lost Soul")

I would say the literary device is onomatopoeia. The use of a word that sounds like the sound it makes.
E.g. bang! creek! roar!
It's effect is to evoke aural imagery in the reader. That basically means the reader's imagination creates the trilling sounds, so it is as if it they were actually hearing it.

it truly is personification because a metaphor compares 2 issues with out utilising like or as & the quote isn't comparing some thing. it truly is utilising human features to desciribe how some thing feels. So it would want to be personification, no longer a metaphor.
