Consume bird (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swallow

This clue is a double definition.

'consume' is the first definition.
(swallowing is a kind of consuming)

'bird' is the second definition.
(swallow is a kind of bird)

(Other definitions for swallow that I've seen before include "Fall for; bird" , "Believe gullibly - bird" , "Songbird" , "Bird - gulp down" , "One doesn't make a summer, they say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
