Yellow bird (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

6

7

chicken

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'yellow' is the first definition.
(as in cowardly)

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

(Other definitions for chicken that I've seen before include "Meat" , "Prov. cowardly bird" , "Informally cowardly like domestic fowl" , "Pigeon-hearted" , "Cowardly (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Globe and Mail, The Irish Independent and The Telegraph.
