What might have wings for doing bird flap (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stir

I believe this is a double definition.

'what might have wings for doing bird' is the first definition.
(a prison - 'bird' can mean a prison sentence)

'flap' is the second definition.
(both can mean to flutter)

(Other definitions for stir that I've seen before include "jug" , "beat" , "Shake up" , "What keeps those inside" , "Thrill" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
