God represented by parrot wearing a ring (6)
I believe the answer is:
apollo
'god' is the definition.
(Apollo is an example)
'parrot wearing a ring' is the wordplay.
'parrot' becomes 'poll' (poll is a kind of parrot).
'wearing' is an insertion indicator.
'ring' becomes 'o'.
'a'+'o'='ao'
'poll' placed inside 'ao' is 'APOLLO'.
'represented by' is the link.
(Other definitions for apollo that I've seen before include "Handsome Greek god" , "Greek sungod, son of Zeus" , "handsome fellow" , "handsome youth" , "US moon landing programme" .)
