Birds display cutlery invoices (10)
I believe the answer is:
spoonbills
'birds' is the definition.
(spoonbill is a kind of bird)
'cutlery invoices' is the wordplay.
'cutlery' becomes 'spoon' (spoon is a kind of cutlery).
'invoices' becomes 'bills' ('bill' can be a synonym of 'invoice').
'spoon'+'bills'='SPOONBILLS'
'display' is the link.
This may not be right. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
