Pheasant, say, shot in Ambridge (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

game bird

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

'pheasant say' is the definition.
(pheasant is a kind of game bird)

'shot in ambridge' is the wordplay.
'ambridge' can be anagrammed to 'GAME BIRD'.
But, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for game bird that I've seen before include "Pheasant, for example" , "A pheasant or grouse - sounds courageous" , "Ambridge (anag) -- eg grouse" , "Woodcock" , "Pheasant, say?" .)
