Talk familiarly to a bird (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chat

This clue is a double definition.

'talk familiarly' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

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

'to a' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for chat that I've seen before include "Talk casually" , "Exchange text or voice messages through a computer" , "A bird; converse" , "Casual conversation" , "Friendly talk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
