> What if we just limited the science of birds to explaining how limb-flapping could produce levitation? Hmm yes. Birds are kind of like helicopters, it seems. Who’s to say that they are not basically one and the same? Moving on.

Well said. I'm gonna steal this explanation.

Also reminds me of the famous Carbonara quote: "if my grandmother had wheels, then she would be a bike" [1]

Well it could be argued that she would be a bike. Its possible to be multiple things at once. If she had 2 wheels and could be ridden by other humans to a destination she might qualify has a bike. She would also continue to be your grandmother.
