This proverb is
self explanatory. Whenever we see a flock of birds flying in the sky we
find that they all belong to the same class. Pigeons, parrots, sparrows, crows,
swans and many other fly in their own groups. Animals of the same class also
wander in herds or groups. Similarly, human beings also like the company persons who
belong to the same caste, colour and creed.
Birds and animals can live together only in their own groups.
On the other hand human beings have understanding
and wisdom so they can choose the company of their own choice. People who have the
same sort of character or belief always go together. Usually people make
friends with the people of same temperament and aptitudes. They like the
company of those who are similar in taste and views and have the common
interests. Learned people seek the company of learned thieves seek the company
of thieves. Brilliant students like the company of the brilliant students
whereas the dullards like dullards. Doctors, lawyers, businessmen and
politicians all like the company of their own taste, temperaments and
interests. They all have their unions.
Whenever they find any problem they all get assembled at once like the flock of
crows and other birds.
This is not only in the case birds, animals and
human beings but is true in the case of nations too. Even the nations keep
friendly terms with the nations who have the similar ideas and notions.
We commonly notice that persons who have the same hobbies, interest, or preference are always found
together. They like to participate in the same kind of activities or talk about
their common pursuits and you will always see them together. This is what is
meant by the proverb ‘ Birds of a feather flock together.
Persons who love to play a certain sport will
always be together and will be playing the same sport together. Persons who are
avid readers will spend most of the time reading and will have positive vibes
with other avid readers. Normally we are not comfortable with some persons, it
is because they have different passions and interests in life. We are
comfortable and enjoy being in the company of some persons the reason being
that we share the same interests and views. A person naturally likes to be in
the company of people who have the same interest as they have.
