I believe the answer is:

falconine

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

'austrian pop star gets number of bird' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'austrian pop star gets number' is the wordplay.
'austrian pop star' becomes 'falco' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'number' becomes 'nine' (nine is a number).
'falco'+'nine'='FALCONINE'

Can you help me to learn more?
