Bird in The Netherlands (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hen

'bird' is the definition.
(I know that hen is a type of domesticated bird)

'in the netherlands' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'HEN' can be found hidden inside 'the netherlands'.

(Other definitions for hen that I've seen before include "Adult female chicken" , "Not cock" , "Insufficient in amount" , "Domestic egg layer" , "Female bird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
