Bar bird (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rail

I believe this is a double definition.

'bar' is the first definition.
(rail is a kind of bar)

'bird' is the second definition.
(rail is a kind of bird)

(Other definitions for rail that I've seen before include "Part of train track" , "Scoff" , "Protest strongly (at)" , "Bar for hanging; bird as corncrake" , "Bar of rolled steel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
