There is a metaphor there, but this is not the correct one.  It's an english
expression meaning people of the same ilk.  It derives from the expression
"birds of a feather stick together" which means that similar types of people
will congregate in the same places and support each other, often used by
observers to explain or excuse the company someone keeps.

HTH,
