Bird that created havoc in the china shop? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bullfinch

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

'bird' is the definition.
(bullfinch is a kind of bird)

'created havoc in the china shop?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'in' is present in the answer.
'china' could be 'ch' and 'ch' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'that' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bullfinch that I've seen before include "Bird that eats fruit buds" , "hedge" , "Bird with pink-breasted male" , "Common garden bird" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
