Irishman enthralled by feeder of baby owls (10)
I believe the answer is:
parliament
'baby owls' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'irishman enthralled by feeder' is the wordplay.
'irishman' becomes 'liam' (common Irish name).
'enthralled' is an insertion indicator.
'by feeder' becomes 'parent' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'liam' put into 'parent' is 'PARLIAMENT'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for parliament that I've seen before include "UK legislature" , "Houses" , "Legislative assembly" , "Legislative body" , "The law is laid down here" .)
