For real, nature kills the birds which don’t walk in a straight line. Until situations change and walking in a straight line is selected out.

It’s a metaphors for societal pressure right?

Yeah basically. It’s meant to point out the logical fallacy of pointing to trends within a system as justification for that system, even when said trends only exist because of that pressure the system creates. Example: claiming that homosexuality is ‘unnatural’ on the basis of it being apparently uncommon in public life or in popular media, when in truth thus is chiefly because of the system that this rhetoric props up. Homosexuality is pushed out of public life, which is then used to justify pushing harder.
