Crossword Genius

Parrot or gorilla? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ape

I believe this is a double definition.

'parrot' is the first definition.
(both can mean to imitate)

'gorilla?' is the second definition.
(gorilla is a kind of ape)

'or' is the link.

(Other definitions for ape that I've seen before include "Imitate uncritically" , "drill" , "Anthropoid primate" , "Wild animal" , "gorilla" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
