Lift hatch noisily for bird (7)
I believe the answer is:
jackdaw
'bird' is the definition.
(jackdaw is a kind of bird)
'lift hatch noisily' is the wordplay.
'lift' becomes 'jack' (jacking is a kind of lifting).
'hatch noisily' becomes 'daw' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'jack'+'daw'='JACKDAW'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for jackdaw that I've seen before include "one found in crow's nest" , "Small black crow" , "Member of crow family noted for thieving" , "Thief in Rheims" , "Grey-headed crow" .)
