The bird is flown (4)

I believe the answer is:

kite

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'the bird' is the first definition.
(kite is a kind of bird)

'is flown' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for kite that I've seen before include "Raptor - flying toy" , "aeroplane" , "Wind-borne frame" , "It flies with string attached" , "A flying toy or sea bird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
