Grand parrot is celebrity (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

power

glory

'is celebrity' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'grand parrot' is the wordplay.
'grand' becomes 'g' (G is short for grand as in a thousand).
'parrot' becomes 'lory' (term for a small parrot).
'g'+'lory'='GLORY'

(Other definitions for glory that I've seen before include "Splendour; high renown" , "Honour and prestige" , "Splendour; high honour" , "Honour, distinction" , "Delight" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
