It can't fly, and may hear amiss (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rhea

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it can't fly' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'may hear amiss' is the wordplay.
'hear' anagrams to 'RHEA'.
However, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rhea that I've seen before include "South American bird resembling the ostrich" , "Flightless bird -- satellite of Saturn" , "New World flightless bird" , "Flightless bird from South America" , "Moon" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
