Game bird and beef (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grouse

This clue is a triple definition!

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

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

'and' acts as a link.

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

(Other definitions for grouse that I've seen before include "Bellyache" , "1D [GAMEBIRD] < having grumble" , "Grumble like game-bird" , "Petty complaint" , "Grumble; game bird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
