Birds share nuts (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rheas

'birds' is the definition.
(rhea is a kind of bird)

'share nuts' is the wordplay.
'nuts' indicates anagramming the letters (nuts can mean crazy).
'share' is an anagram of 'RHEAS'.

(Other definitions for rheas that I've seen before include "these birds won't fly" , "Ostrich-like birds" , "Flightless birds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
