I don't think Soma is the lord of heaven.It is Indra or Sakra who is usually praised as lord of heaven(s).
Association of Soma with bird is interesting,nevertheless,because it is usually a bird who delivers Soma,much like Garuda delivering Amrita in the later scriptures.
"Only one is the fire,which is inflamed in numerous ways.Only one is the sun, which pervades the whole universe.Only one is the dawn,which illuminates all things. Similarly,all that exists is The One and it has manifested into everything here.”
