Comments on the clue
1.Definite (rather than indefinite) article looks spurious in the def. – is 'the bird' a bona-fide usage? If so it's a nice clue.
2.Have given my top mark of 3 for this. Good clue, slightly spoilt by inclusion of "the" to obtain the extra "E." Prison is just "bird."
3.How is this an & lit?
