Stand and basically pick the bird (7)
I believe the answer is:
lectern
'stand' is the definition.
(lectern is a kind of stand)
'basically pick the bird' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'bird' could be 'tern' (tern is a kind of bird) and 'tern' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lectern that I've seen before include "Slanted reading desk" , "Where talk takes place" , "Bible stand" , "Church reading desk" , "speaker's position" .)
