Failures as birds (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

turkeys

This clue is a double definition.

'failures' is the first definition.
(turkey is a kind of failure)

'birds' is the second definition.
(turkey is a kind of bird)

'as' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for turkeys that I've seen before include "The birds for cranberry sauce, or theatre flops" , "Birds with fan-shaped tails" , "Movie flops" , "Theatre flops or Christmas birds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
