Bird — tit (5)

I believe the answer is:

booby

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'bird' is the first definition.
(booby is a kind of bird)

'tit' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for booby that I've seen before include "Dunce" , "Pink-footed seabird" , "Stupid person" , "marine bird" , "Gannet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
