Change bus, or hide in shelter (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

birdhouse

'shelter' is the definition.
(birdhouse is a kind of shelter)

'change bus or hide' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates an anagram.
'bus'+'or'+'hide'='busorhide'
'busorhide' anagrammed gives 'BIRDHOUSE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Another definition for birdhouse that I've seen is " American nest-box".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
