Australia bound to disturb famed bird-watcher (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

audubon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'famed bird-watcher' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'australia bound to disturb' is the wordplay.
'australia' becomes 'au'.
'to disturb' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'disturbed' mean this).
'bound' with letters rearranged gives 'dubon'.
'au'+'dubon'='AUDUBON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for audubon that I've seen before include "John James -, US ornithologist and artist" , "Famous bird illustrator" , "J. J. -; US bird artist" , "Famous illustrator of American birds" , "He painted birds" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
