Toys with tails (5)
I believe the answer is:
'toys with tails' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for kites that I've seen before include "Aerial toys; birds" , "More than one toy" , "Birds of prey - flying toys" , "Small hawks" , "They're flown in the wind at the end of a string" .)
