Daffy — bird (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cuckoo

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'daffy' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bird?' is the second definition.
(cuckoo is a kind of bird)

(Other definitions for cuckoo that I've seen before include "It lays eggs in another's 15 across" , "Intruder bird in the nest" , "Cracked" , "Crazy (colloq.); bird" , "building no nest?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
