Birds Flock Feather People Means Table Plays Soccer

Idiom Birds of a Feather Flock Together
Example Everyone at that table plays soccer. I guess that birds of a feather flock together.
Meaning people who have things in common, such as interests and ideas, usually hang out together; people who are alike often become friends
Origin This saying, which is over 2,000 years old and comes from the Bible, is based on the observation that birds of the same species flock together on the ground as well as in the air. The meaning has been broadened over the years, so that "birds" means "people" and "of a feather" means "of the same type."
