It's time for Charlie Parker! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bird

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'it's time' is the first definition.
(both are slang for a prison sentence)

'for charlie parker' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for bird that I've seen before include "Flying creature" , "porridge" , "Feathered animal" , "A prison sentence (slang)" , "Avian" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
