Bird in a Middle Eastern country (6)
I believe the answer is:
turkey
This clue is a double definition.
'bird' is the first definition.
(I know that turkey is a type of poultry)
'a middle eastern country' is the second definition.
(country in the Middle East)
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for turkey that I've seen before include "The bird for cranberry sauce" , "Bird reared for food" , "failure in America" , "Gobbling bird" , "sometimes cold" .)
