It’s daily incase of a bird (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pochard

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

'a bird' is the definition.
(pochard is a kind of bird)

'it's daily incase' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'daily' could be 'char' (both can mean a cleaner) and 'char' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'pod' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
