Bond freed parrot keeping quiet (7)
I believe the answer is:
rapport
'bond' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'freed parrot keeping quiet' is the wordplay.
'freed' indicates an anagram.
'keeping' indicates putting letters inside.
'quiet' becomes 'p' (music symbol for 'piano', ie soft or quiet).
'parrot' with letters rearranged gives 'raport'.
'raport' placed around 'p' is 'RAPPORT'.
(Other definitions for rapport that I've seen before include "Empathy" , "Harmonious understanding with someone" , "Sympathetic relationship" , "Mutual sympathy" , "Bond of sympathy" .)
