    What is “birding”? According to dictionary, it’s breed, catch, or watch. Fishers fish, right? What is “to fish” really, though? To swim? To be a fish? I mean, you can’t extrapolate it from the common verb as a rule, because that doesn’t apply to “birding”, does it?

    So no, I don’t think your over-simplification works.
