Creator with intelligence makes a bird (6)
I believe the answer is:
godwit
'a bird' is the definition.
(godwit is a kind of bird)
'creator with intelligence' is the wordplay.
'creator' becomes 'god' (the creator can mean God).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'intelligence' becomes 'wit' (wit is a kind of intelligence).
'god'+'wit'='GODWIT'
'makes' is the link.
(Other definitions for godwit that I've seen before include "Long-legged northern shore bird" , "Wader; do twig (anag.)" , "Large wading bird" , "Wader; two dig (anag.)" , "Flyer" .)
