Bird; chess piece (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rook

I believe this is a double definition.

'bird' is the first definition.
(rook is a kind of bird)

'chess piece' is the second definition.
(I know that rook is a type of chess piece)

(Other definitions for rook that I've seen before include "Defraud -- crow" , "Swindle; castle" , "journalist Jean" , "Chesspiece otherwise known as a castle" , "Castle -- bird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
