Bird scattering bread devoured by others (9)
I believe the answer is:
redbreast
'bird' is the definition.
(redbreast is a kind of bird)
'scattering bread devoured by others' is the wordplay.
'scattering' is an anagram indicator.
'devoured by' indicates putting letters inside.
'others' becomes 'rest' (eg the rest of a group).
'bread' anagrammed gives 'dbrea'.
'dbrea' put into 'rest' is 'REDBREAST'.
(Other definitions for redbreast that I've seen before include "One tweets" , "Bird" , "Type of robin" , "Flapper" .)
