Why the hell are humanoid birds still called furries?

Trying to call humanoid birds as "featheries" would be as hard as trying to make everyone not call guinea pigs guinea pigs and instead call them cavys (a far better name)

Furry is a catch-all term for people presenting themselves as anthropomorphic animals. Doesn't matter which branch of the animal kingdom, albeit they do have terms for those subsets. Like "Scalies"

Little sea piggies. Like why guinea pigs? They are not from there - they´re Latin Americans. I mean ye - they´re also not pigs, but we all agreed to call them like that.

I thought they were called harpies, or maybe sometimes sirens, at least if they are female. (Although siren somehow got associated with mermaids somewhere along the way).

No harpies are people who dress up as a harp.

Harpies.

Fureiws never existed.

It was a cheetah all along.

Harpies are also only female.

There are others, like swan maidens but they´re also only female, as the name suggests. And if they´re male, they´re usually individual gods.

So the correct term would be "Bird people" or short: "Birdx". Usually the bird people community refers to themselves as Birdx.
