One bird giving me a secret about another (10)
I believe the answer is:
meadowlark
'one bird' is the definition.
(meadowlark is a kind of bird)
'me a secret about another' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'me' is present in the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is located in the answer.
'another' could be 'r' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'r' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'giving' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meadowlark that I've seen before include "Bird" , "Songbird" .)
