I believe the answer is:

raven

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for raven that I've seen before include "Tower of London bird" , "Type of crow" , "Large bird of the crow family" , "Poe's poetic bird" , "Voraciously eat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
