Stork relative (4)
I believe the answer is:
ibis
'stork relative' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for ibis that I've seen before include "Wading bird sacred to the Egyptians" , "Bird venerated by ancient Egyptians" , "Long-legged wading bird" , "Type of bird" , "Bird with long neck and legs and a curved bill" .)
