Bird imitating singer Joe, also (8)
I believe the answer is:
cockatoo
'bird' is the definition.
(cockatoo is a kind of bird)
'imitating singer joe also' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'singer' could be 'cock' (cock is a kind of birdanimal) and 'cock' is found in the answer.
'also' could be 'too' (synonyms) and 'too' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'a' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cockatoo that I've seen before include "Bird, a type of parrot" , "Crested bird" , "Australian parrot" , "White parrot" , "Australasian parrot" .)
