Crossword Genius

Vehicle runs into parrot (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lorry

'vehicle' is the definition.
(I know that lorry is a type of wheeled vehicle)

'runs into parrot' is the wordplay.
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'into' indicates putting letters inside.
'parrot' becomes 'lory' (term for a small parrot).
'r' placed into 'lory' is 'LORRY'.

(Other definitions for lorry that I've seen before include "Heavy goods vehicle" , "Industrial vehicle" , "Transport vehicle" , "Commercial vehicle" , "Load-carrying vehicle" .)
