Why didn't we can birds "fly". I mean when I think of flying the first thing I think about are birds. Not fucking flies.

Flies just have evolved into birds, it's the only explanation

That's because birds don't fly - they're up there birding around.

We should’ve called airplanes flyors.

We say "flyver" in Danish which basically would be flyor in English. "At flyve" means "to fly".

The 'proper' word - so to speak - "flyvemaskine" directly translates to "flymachine", compounding "(to) fly" and "machine". Though if you're really busy you can just call it a "fly".
