Idiot put up flyer in Bay Area? (7)
I believe the answer is:
pastern
'bay area?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'idiot put up flyer' is the wordplay.
'idiot' becomes 'sap' (sap can mean a foolish or gullible person).
'put up' says the letters should be written backwards.
'flyer' becomes 'tern' (tern is a kind of bird).
'sap' in reverse letter order is 'pas'.
'pas'+'tern'='PASTERN'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pastern that I've seen before include "Wrongly-defined part of horse" , "Word Johnson misdefined" , "part of Arab's leg" , "Part of horse's foot" , "'The knee of an horse' (Johnson)" .)
