Birds reworked paper halos (10)

I believe the answer is:

phalaropes

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

'reworked paper halos' is the wordplay.
'reworked' indicates anagramming the letters.
'paper'+'halos'='paperhalos'
'paperhalos' with letters rearranged gives 'PHALAROPES'.

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
