Believe you’ll get the bird (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swallow

I believe this is a double definition.

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

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

'you'll get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for swallow that I've seen before include "Eat - bird - believe" , "Small migratory bird with forked tail" , "Fork-tailed bird" , "One with wings" , "Take in - migratory bird" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
