parrot

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

'bird' is the definition.
(I know this)

'apt to get upset about some errors' is the wordplay.
'apt to' becomes 'trap' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'get upset' is a reversal indicator (I've seen 'getting upset' mean this).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'some' says to take the centre.
The middle of 'errors' is 'ro'.
'trap' in reverse letter order is 'part'.
'part' going around 'ro' is 'PARROT'.
