Because gravity doesn't pull youdown, it pulls you towards the earth.

if you walked a long way down your street (a VERY long way, to the other end of your country.) would you suddenly be walking diagonally? or on your thighs? no. because you are not being pulled towards the bottom of the earth, but to the center. it's quite hard to explain to someone who doesn't already know. We (yes, we,I'm Australian) don't feel upside-down because as you come to our side of the world, the direction your feet face rotates so that your feet always face the center of the earth.

And in fact, you did make up the north is up and south is down, because whoever said north was up? you could draw a map with south on top of the map and it would be just as accurate.

"Down" is the direction gravity pulls you. Gravity on Earth pulls you towards the centre of the Earth, so wherever you are on the Earth, down always feels towards the centre of the Earth.

When flying south why dont you go upside down?

Birds and other animals that fly south during migration follow natural navigational cues such as the sun, stars, and landmarks. They do not need to go upside down because their internal compasses and instinctual behaviors guide them in the right direction. Additionally, flying upside down may not be aerodynamically efficient and could pose risks to their safety.
