No early bird? (5-3)
I believe the answer is:
night-owl
'no early bird?' is the definition.
'night owl' can be an answer for 'bird?' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'no early' bit.
'early bird?' is the wordplay.
'early' becomes 'night' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'bird?' becomes 'owl' (owl is a kind of bird).
'night'+'owl'='NIGHT-OWL'
