What does the saying "Birds of a feather, flock together" means?

I was reading a book called "Never Give Up" by Jason Navallo and this saying came across my reading.

That means you should be surrounded by people that you get along with? or maybe common interests?

I appreciate any answer. =)

The expression is confusing because we would not normally say "birds of a feather." We would say "the same kind of bird." So, it means "the same kind of bird flies together in a group." This expression is a couple of hundred years old. I have always heard it used in a negative sense. If someone is shocked by how a person behaves, you could say, "Well, look who he hangs out with! Birds of a feather flock together."

Hi Rodolfo,

It means that people of the same personality or character tend to have common interests, associate and become friends. For example, members of a clique are always seen together and do things together. We say that "birds of a feather flock together".
