Bent wings of bluejay? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bandy

'bent' is the definition.
(bandy refers to bent or curved legs)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for bandy that I've seen before include "Bow-legged" , "Crooked" , "Bow (legged); swap (angry words)" , "Curved" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
