Butcher's bird? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gander

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'butcher's' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'bird?' is the second definition.
(male goose)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gander that I've seen before include "Male 7 across" , "glance" , "Male goose - quick look" , "Male goose; look (colloq.)" , "A butcher's -- bird" .)
