Bird gives talk (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chat

I believe this is a double definition.

'bird' is the first definition.
(chat is a kind of bird)

'talk' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'gives' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for chat that I've seen before include "Talk casually" , "Talking" , "Communication" , "waffle?" , "Gossip" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
