Description
Birds of A Feather Flock Together.
This proverb has been in use since at least the mid 16th century.
The first known citation in print of the currently used English version of the phrase appeared in 1599, in The Dictionarie in Spanish and English, which was compiled by the English lexicographer John Minsheu:
Birds of a feather will flock together.

David, How cute! I love how these "Titmice" not sure that is what they are.. and if it is them.. do I say Titmouses, or Titmice? haha.. This is great, I love how you have that long depth of view..field.. so that the green backgrounds turns to circles of green lights.. Great capture. I know how fast these little fellers like to move and fly around. It's sweet how they all like to "FLOCK" together! I like how you wrote about the proverb from the 16th century~ I learn something new on FAA ...all the time! Favorited, Voted, google plus of course!
