Alright, English4All family 💙 Let’s explore today’s topic…
🔎 What does it mean?
The expression “Birds of a feather” comes from the full saying:
👉 “Birds of a feather flock together.”
This means that people who are similar in their interests, personality, or lifestyle usually become friends or spend time together.
For example:
- “Gamers usually hang out with other gamers. Birds of a feather!” 🎮
- “If you love music, you’ll probably have friends who also love music.” 🎵
It’s like saying “Dime con quién andas y te diré quién eres” in Spanish.
