Something unusual like bloody chicken (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
rare bird
'something unusual' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'bloody chicken' is the wordplay.
'bloody' becomes 'rare' (I've seen this before).
'chicken' becomes 'bird' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'rare'+'bird'='RARE BIRD'
'like' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rare bird that I've seen before include "Exceptional thing" , "Unusual type" , "Exceptional person" , "the talking point of twitchers?" .)
