Vocal supporter for one who delivers babies? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stork

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one who delivers babies?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'vocal supporter for' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'for' could be 'to' (eg both can mean 'in the opinion of') and 'to' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stork that I've seen before include "Large wading bird" , "Mythological baby-bringer" , "Bird that delivers babies?" , "Long-legged bird" , "Baby-carrying bird?" .)
