Bird died exiting dilapidated old attic
I believe the answer is:
coal tit
'bird' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for coal tit that I've seen before include "Little bird" , "Bird producing notes" , "singer" , "Flyer" , "Black-headed small European songbird" .)
