Bird food? (3)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

3

8

porridge

This clue is a double definition.

'bird' is the first definition.
(both can refer to time in prison)

'food' is the second definition.
(porridge is a kind of food)

(Other definitions for porridge that I've seen before include "hot stuff?" , "Morning oats" , "Cooked meal (served in prison?)" , "Jail sentence" , "Breakfast of boiled oatmeal and milk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
