Grit spread out for birds (10)

I believe the answer is:

partridges

'birds' is the definition.
(I know that partridge is a type of birds)

'grit spread out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'grit'+'spread'='gritspread'
'gritspread' anagrammed gives 'PARTRIDGES'.

'for' is the link.

(Another definition for partridges that I've seen is " Game birds".)
