Not being polite to a bird! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

capon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bird' is the definition.
(capon is a kind of bird)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for capon that I've seen before include "Castrated fowl, for eating" , "Male fowl fattened for eating" , "one fattened specially" , "A tasty bird" , "Emasculated fowl" .)
