bird table

'something for those flying the coop?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'prison board' is the wordplay.
'prison' becomes 'bird' ().
'board' becomes 'table' (both can mean food).
'bird'+'table'='BIRD-TABLE'

'offering' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bird table that I've seen before include "Structure in the garden to feed ... squirrels!" , "provision for inflight catering?" , "Garden feeder" , "where food is put out" , "garden item" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
