Dodgy pal with nice bird (7)
I believe the answer is:
pelican
'bird' is the definition.
(pelican is a kind of bird)
'dodgy pal with nice' is the wordplay.
'dodgy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'pal' after 'nice' is 'nicepal'.
'nicepal' with letters rearranged gives 'PELICAN'.
(Other definitions for pelican that I've seen before include "One presenting big bill" , "Aquatic bird with pouch" , "Bird with large pouched beak" , "Seabird with a large pouched bill" , "Large aquatic bird" .)
