K,
I've seen you give this answer before. I can see the working of the clue but why is a smoker a parrot ? I have looked at loads of dictionary sites and cannot find an answer. Can you explain ? What am I missing ?

Black-tailed Parakeet, the Smoker, and the Marlock Parakeet.
Found his and other references on Google.

Thank you K and A, and me a birdwatcher as well !
But, hey, I don't live in Australia -- and it's a colloquialism there as well. Not a nice definition to put in a crossword !!!
