Poor bird's innards bad at intervals (2,5,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
in dribs and drabs
'intervals' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'poor bird's innards bad' is the wordplay.
'poor' indicates anagramming the letters.
'birds'+'innards'+'bad'='birdsinnardsbad'
'birdsinnardsbad' with letters rearranged gives 'IN DRIBS AND DRABS'.
'at' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
