Sculptor has perch at home (5)
I believe the answer is:
rodin
'sculptor' is the definition.
(Auguste Rodin was a French sculptor)
'perch at home' is the wordplay.
'perch' becomes 'rod' ('rod' can be a synonym of 'perch').
'at home' becomes 'in' ('in' can be similar in meaning to 'at home').
'rod'+'in'='RODIN'
'has' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for rodin that I've seen before include "Famous French figure" , "Sculptor of The Thinker and The Kiss" , "French sculptor of The Kiss, d. 1917" , "Fr. sculptor (The Kiss)" , "Sculptor of OThe KissO" .)
