Willing bird (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

game

I believe this is a double definition.

'willing' is the first definition.
(game can mean willing to do something)

'bird' is the second definition.
(game bird is a kind of bird)

(Other definitions for game that I've seen before include "Lark" , "Animals hunted for food" , "See 3" , "Pastime; brave" , "Final declaration of tennis result - . . . ., set and match" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
