Can it also fly backwards? (3)
I believe the answer is:
tit
'fly backwards?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'can it also' is the wordplay.
'can' becomes 't' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'also' says to put letters next to each other.
't'+'it'='TIT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tit that I've seen before include "Small garden bird" , "18's [BIRD]" , "Boob made backing" , "Small bird that lives off insects" , "What you swap for tat" .)
