Possibly low, his description of a wise bird? (6)

I believe the answer is:

owlish

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

'description of a wise bird?' is the definition.
The definition and answer are not the same part of speech.

'possibly low his' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'low'+'his'='lowhis'
'lowhis' anagrammed gives 'OWLISH'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for owlish that I've seen before include "solemn and wise in appearance?" , "Having appearance like wise old bird" , "Solemn, wise; like a bird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
