We declare Charlie Parker to be a noted homemaker (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
weaver bird
'a noted homemaker' is the definition.
'we declare charlie parker' is the wordplay.
'declare' becomes 'aver' (averring is a kind of declaring).
'charlie parker' becomes 'bird'.
'we'+'aver'+'bird'='WEAVER-BIRD'
'to be' is the link.
(Other definitions for weaver bird that I've seen before include "Finch-like creator of elaborate nests" , "One sings" .)
