Believe a bird (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swallow

This clue is a double definition.

'believe' is the first definition.
(to swallow something is to accept or believe it)

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

(Other definitions for swallow that I've seen before include "Get down" , "Believe gullibly - bird" , "Songbird" , "put up with" , "Small migratory bird with forked tail" .)
