Ready for a snack (7)

I believe the answer is:

peckish

(Other definitions for peckish that I've seen before include "Informally hungry - like a bird?" , "A bit hungry like bird?" , "Feeling slightly hungry" , "A little hungry" , "Getting hungry (informal)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
