Bird, edible native of China (4)

I believe the answer is:

kiwi

This clue is a double definition.

'bird' is the first definition.
(I know that kiwi is a type of flightless bird)

'edible native of china' is the second definition.
(kiwi fruits are native to China)

(Other definitions for kiwi that I've seen before include "Flightless New Zealand bird" , "Sacred Japanese peak" , "Hairy fruit with green flesh" , "Someone from New Zealand?" , "one with big bill" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
