Birds in bars (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rails

I believe this is a double definition.

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

'bars' is the second definition.
(rail is a kind of bar)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rails that I've seen before include "Water birds" , "For trains" , "Train tracks" , "Barriers of horizontal bars and supports" , "Wading birds - dysfunctional person has come off them" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
