Parrots from city gardens (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

echoes

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

'parrots' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'city gardens' is the wordplay.
'city' becomes 'ec' (the City of London postcode).
'gardens' becomes 'hoes' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ec'+'hoes'='ECHOES'

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for echoes that I've seen before include "rings" , "Sounds reverberating" , "Sound reverberations" , "repercussions" , "Reflected sounds" .)
