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

'bird' is the definition.
(canary is a kind of bird)

'wreck any car' is the wordplay.
'wreck' indicates an anagram.
'any'+'car'='anycar'
'anycar' is an anagram of 'CANARY'.

'able to' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for canary that I've seen before include "singer" , "grass" , "A yellow singing cage-bird" , "Bird from an island group" , "a sort of finch" .)
