Outlaw experiencing life as a bird? (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

robin hood

'outlaw' is the definition.
(Robin Hood is an example)

'experiencing life as a bird?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'bird?' could be 'robin' (robin is a kind of bird) and 'robin' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hood' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

(Other definitions for robin hood that I've seen before include "Lawbreaker" , "despoiler in forest" , "one favouring wealth redistribution" , "Folk hero of Sherwood Forest - robbed the rich and gave to the poor" , "Famous outlaw" .)
