I am so sick of shower thoughts that are people just ignoring definitions of words and using other words instead like it’s some mind bending reality shock. No, birds FLY through the air because that is the DEFINITION of flying you dweeb.

Air doesn't float, it just doesn't sink as hard

Some birds fly through the water.

Apparently, swimming inherently requires a liquid.
