"A piros madár kirepül a fához."

Translation: The red bird is flying out to the tree.

[Paul607642]

Why nőt "flies" vs "is flying"?

[vvsey]

Both are fine.

[Brimbalicious]

The red bird is flying towards the tree.

[ion1122]

No, 'to', not 'towards'. The latter would be expressed with the postposition 'felé'.
