Name bird by pasture with no tail (5)
I believe the answer is:
title
'name' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'bird by pasture with no tail' is the wordplay.
'bird' becomes 'tit' (I've seen this before**).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'pasture' becomes 'ley' ('ley' can be a synonym of 'pasture').
'with no tail' means to remove the last letter.
'ley' with its last letter removed is 'le'.
'tit'+'le'='TITLE'
(Other definitions for title that I've seen before include "Lord, sir or doctor, say" , "Form of address - name" , "Appellation of rank" , "Sir, or madam" , "Name of film, book etc" .)
