Tidy and clean (feathers) (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

preen

'tidy and clean feathers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for preen that I've seen before include "(Of a bird) tidy and clean feathers" , "Titivate oneself" , "setdown straight?" , "Beautify" , "Tidy/clean (feathers)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
