Tolerated a bird in bed (7)
I believe the answer is:
brooked
'tolerated' is the definition.
('brook' can be a synonym of 'tolerate')
'a bird in bed' is the wordplay.
'a bird' becomes 'rook' (rook is a kind of bird).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'rook' going inside 'bed' is 'BROOKED'.
(Another definition for brooked that I've seen is " Tolerated".)
