Hieroglyphics bird (4)
I believe the answer is:
ibis
'hieroglyphics bird' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for ibis that I've seen before include "Eastern" , "Type of bird" , "Bird worshipped in Ancient Egypt" , "Wader with a long down-curved bill" , "Large wading birds with down-curved bills" .)
