Bird for eating (5)
I believe the answer is:
capon
'bird for eating' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for capon that I've seen before include "Castrated cock fowl" , "one fattened specially" , "A tasty bird" , "fowl fattened for pot" , "Castrated fowl, for eating" .)
