Bird got beak into tasty morsel (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

titbit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tasty morsel' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bird got beak' is the wordplay.
'bird' becomes 'tit' (tit is a kind of bird).
'got beak' becomes 'bit' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tit'+'bit'='TITBIT'

'into' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for titbit that I've seen before include "Delicacy" , "Choice bit of something, food or gossip" , "Small item of gossip" , "Small tasty bit of food" , "tiny amount of food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
