Plume provider (5)
I believe the answer is:
egret
'plume provider' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for egret that I've seen before include "Type of forty eight Ac" , "Greet (anag) -- wading bird" , "Long-plumed heron" , "Stork-like bird" , "young bird" .)
