Why is it that a bird can fly, but a fly can not bird?

Answer 1

For the same reason people park on driveways and drive on parkways, why else?

Answer 2

In the same sense that 'Mike can walk but walk cannot Mike' - Why do you play on words like this when you know it is a matter of language cognitive? Don't you see that you are giving a 'verb' the false identity of a noun and vise versa? Or are you playing on the double meaning of the word 'fly' which can be a noun too? But in this case you must have already known that 'fly' as a noun is distinguished from 'fly' as a verb in the context, and the statement you are presenting has the word fly as a verb, and to reverse it you have to find a noun other than the word 'bird' that can be a verb as well. Even then, your statement will not be 'true', because even if your new reversed statement might be grammatically correct, a fly can never be a bird, any way!

However, to give you the benefit of the doubt, I would go into a deeper level of abstract thinking, and say that it can be, if we empty the words from their cognitive meanings and give them new conceptual image of a symbol that means (something/some verb) and agree to it as a language to use among us. Then if I say "fly can bird' you will not look at it as a strange statement.

I wonder if this is what you had in mind when you asked that question!

The English language should not be taken lightly. I think you knew the answer before you asked the question. Try learning about Plato's forms and then ask a serious question. You're wasting the most valuable resource on the Internet.
