Birds who pose, by the sound of it (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hoopoes

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

'who pose by the sound of it' is the wordplay.
'by the sound of it' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'who'+'pose'='whopose'
'whopose' is a homophone of 'HOOPOES'.
