The origin of this proverb dates back to the mid-16th Century. In 1545 Martin Turner used a version of this phrase in his papist satire, The Rescuing of Romish Fox; “Byrdes of on kynde and color flok and flye allwayes together.”
In nature, birds of the same species often do flock and fly together. Ornithologists explain this behavior as a “safety” in numbers tactic to reduce their risk of predation.
Well the only person shooting these birds is Murray and he’s using a lens, not a gun. See for yourself this marvelous flock of birds.

Bill Ding and his band of clowns are the security patrol for this blog site. He is a favorite toy from the 50*s. By the way sometimes a blog is just an ego-maniacal stream of conscience.
