mopoke

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bird appears' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'all right in irregular poem' is the wordplay.
'all right' becomes 'ok' (synonyms).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'irregular' is an anagram indicator.
'poem' is an anagram of 'mope'.
'ok' placed into 'mope' is 'MOPOKE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for mopoke that I've seen is " Bird".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
