Parrot got up, everyone got up (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rosella

'parrot' is the definition.
(type of parrot)

'got up everyone got up' is the wordplay.
'got up' becomes 'rose' (past tense of 'raise').
'everyone' becomes 'all' (all people).
'got up' is a reversal indicator.
'all' written backwards gives 'lla'.
'rose'+'lla'='ROSELLA'

(Other definitions for rosella that I've seen before include "Aussie bird" , "Australian parakeet" , "Australian flyer" , "Parrot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
