Birds of a Feather Flock Together

A proverb used to describe people or “Birds of a Feather” with similar interests who spend time together. Thinking back to a few of my long lasting friendships, this is definitely true in my own life. This must also be true about some birds as well. Sandhill cranes, for instance, migrate as a group. Whenever I have come across one while hiking, a mate is usually close by as well.

“Birds of a feather flock together.”

When I spotted this sandhill crane, it did not seem to be in a hurry to leave. Though it did keep a close eye on me while I worked on getting a closeup of its beautiful feathers. The first image was used on an earlier post, “Now Scoot.”

What about you? Do you hang out with complementary birds of a feather?

  12. That’s a wary bird indeed. Nice photo.
    The cranes of the genus Antigone are really impressive. We don’t have the sandhill cranes, but we do get to see the Antigone antigone.

    1. I had no idea there were so many different cranes. I looked up the Antigone antigone. They are very similar but with more red on their head and gray feathers, right? Thanks for increasing my knowledge of birds through your site. 😊
