Help to dig where a flier drinks? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crowbar

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

'help to dig' is the definition.
(a crowbar might be used for digging)

'a flier drinks?' is the wordplay.
'a flier' becomes 'crow' (crow is a kind of birdanimal).
'drinks?' becomes 'bar' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'crow'+'bar'='CROWBAR'

'where' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for crowbar that I've seen before include "Purchase may be obtained from this" , "The means to get leverage" , "Strong iron rod used as lever" , "Jemmy" , "Metal rod used as a lever" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
