Neck down covering for offspring of this? (7)
I believe the answer is:
swallow
'neck down' is the definition.
'swallow' can be an answer for 'down' (both can mean to consume or eat). I'm unsure of the 'neck' bit.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for swallow that I've seen before include "Songbird" , "Ingest - bird" , "Buy < and consume" , "flier" , "Migrating bird" .)
