19A. Melbourne sheep (4)

Have ?A?B

Is LAMB a generic or slang Aussie term for "sheep"?

(Elle, if you're looking in, that answer from last week was MIST).

8A Bird lost trimming (5) R?B?N

Looks like ROBIN but quite seeing wordplay.

Hi, John. I was left with R?B?N and also presume the answer is ROBIN. I can only think it comes from a reduction of "ribbon" which is a "trimming". A bit loose, though.
