Birds in the morning rising with bird noises (6)
I believe the answer is:
macaws
'birds' is the definition.
(macaw is a kind of bird)
'morning rising with bird noises' is the wordplay.
'morning' becomes 'am'.
'rising' says the letters should be written in reverse (going up in a down clue).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'bird noises' becomes 'caws' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'am' reversed gives 'ma'.
'ma'+'caws'='MACAWS'
'in the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for macaws that I've seen before include "Brightly-coloured parrots" , "Long-tailed, brilliantly-coloured parrots" , "Long-tailed parrots of Central and South America" , "More than one bird" , "Birds" .)
