Entangled with a bird, say (5)
I believe the answer is:
afoul
'entangled' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'a bird say' is the wordplay.
'bird' becomes 'fowl' (synonyms).
'say' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'fowl' is a homophone of 'foul'.
'a'+'foul'='AFOUL'
'with' is the link.
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
