"The birds are going to the east."

shouldn't be "Kuşlar doğuya gidiyor" since birds are not human beings ?

sorry, have forgotten why it is a singular verb when it's a plural subject????

What's the difference between gelmek and getmek?

Isn't "towards the east" maybe a better translation, since "the east" isn't exactly an end destination one can go to (unless it's "the East", as in China and neighbouring countries).
