'teach again' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'bird expected to throttle feline?' is the wordplay.
'bird' becomes 'ree' (term for a female ruff bird).
'expected' becomes 'due' (similar in meaning).
'to throttle' indicates putting letters inside (throttle can mean to strangle or smother).
'feline?' becomes 'cat' (cat is a kind of feline).
'due' placed around 'cat' is 'ducate'.
'ree'+'ducate'='RE-EDUCATE'
