Father holds bird to display bone (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

femur

'bone' is the definition.
(I know that femur is a bone)

'father holds bird' is the wordplay.
'father' becomes 'fr' (abbreviation as in a priest's title).
'holds' indicates putting letters inside.
'bird' becomes 'emu' (emu is a type of bird).
'fr' going around 'emu' is 'FEMUR'.

'to display' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for femur that I've seen before include "bit of leg" , "Thigh bone" , "Large bone" , "Part of leg" , "Bone in leg" .)
