'it's really great' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'a bird i can fly' is the wordplay.
'a bird' becomes 'tit' (tit is a kind of bird).
'fly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'i'+'can'='ican'
'ican' is an anagram of 'anic'.
'tit'+'anic'='TITANIC'

'being' is the link.
