The French bird over country seeing all the wildlife (6,7)

I believe the answer is:

animal kingdom

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'all the wildlife' is the definition.

'the french bird over country' is the wordplay.
'the french bird over' becomes 'animal' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'country' becomes 'kingdom' (kingdom is a kind of country).
'animal'+'kingdom'='ANIMAL KINGDOM'

'seeing' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for animal kingdom that I've seen before include "beasts in general" , "Moving organisms in general" , "beastly lot" , "Creatures collectively" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
