Wild parrot, bird of prey (6)
I believe the answer is:
raptor
'bird of prey' is the definition.
('raptor' can be a synonym of 'bird of prey')
'wild parrot' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
'parrot' with letters rearranged gives 'RAPTOR'.
(Other definitions for raptor that I've seen before include "Eagle, hawk, falcon or owl - parrot (anag)" , "Hunter" , "Parrot (anag) - bird of prey" , "Harrier possibly" .)
