Sort of trap for a bird? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

booby

I believe this is a double definition.

'sort of trap' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a bird?' is the second definition.
(booby is a kind of bird)

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for booby that I've seen before include "Sort of trap" , "marine bird" , "Dunce" , "Stupid person" , "Gannet" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
