Bird shot feels hatred and anger (7,8)
I believe the answer is:
ruffled feathers
'anger' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'bird shot feels hatred' is the wordplay.
'bird' becomes 'ruff' (ruff is a kind of bird).
'shot' is an anagram indicator.
'feels'+'hatred'='feelshatred'
'feelshatred' is an anagram of 'ledfeathers'.
'ruff'+'ledfeathers'='RUFFLED FEATHERS'
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
