A fly can't bird, but a bird can fly.
Ask me a riddle and I reply,
Cottleston, cottleston, cottleston pie.
-- Winnie the Pooh, A. A. Milne
A fly can't bird but a plane can:
Stopped to watch this plane soar and dive over, and over, a cornfield on my way home today. I cannot believe that the pilot could have been experiencing anything but pure exhiliration and I was so overcome, vicariously, that I stood right there riveted -- and unconcerned that I was being gassed with pesticide. I have a pretty good fear of heights and commercial air travel ranks right up there with all the other sometimes necessary evils. That said, I would have given quite a lot for the opportunity to bird for a while today.
