Solid verb forms for flyers (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lovebirds

'for flyers' is the definition.
(birds fly)

'solid verb forms' is the wordplay.
'forms' indicates an anagram.
'solid'+'verb'='solidverb'
'solidverb' anagrammed gives 'LOVEBIRDS'.

(Other definitions for lovebirds that I've seen before include "Affectionate parrots" , "Small African parrots or romantic couples" , "Small African parrots or romantic couple" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
