Be a bird and buzz off! (4,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beat it

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

'buzz off' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'be a bird' is the wordplay.
'bird' becomes 'tit' (tit is a kind of bird).
'be'+'a'+'tit'='BEAT IT'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beat it that I've seen before include "fly away" , "Make off hastily" , "try out drum kit?" , "Get going" , "make off furtively" .)
