Some hand tools found under the scared birds (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yellowhammers

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

'birds' is the definition.
(yellowhammer is a kind of bird)

'some hand tools found under the scared' is the wordplay.
'some hand tools' becomes 'hammers' (hammer is a kind of hand tool).
'found under' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the scared' becomes 'yellow' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'hammers' put after 'yellow' is 'YELLOWHAMMERS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for yellowhammers that I've seen is " Birds".)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
