Any clue where the answer is GUTTA-PERCHA
...must involve birds of course!

Hi, thanks this took a bit of thought, but...anaesthetised?

I give up, are you able to tell me the answer!? S

Thanks Mamya and Malone. I agree about the length of the clue (typo "in" for "on") but it is just so brilliant.
This is my (very) personal favourite, for which please forgive me. I have modified it a little
Mystic bioform (9)

I liked this one in the Mail today (7/12):

One or two dairy products (5,6)

I forget now if it was Araucaria or Bunthorne, but I always liked

Cox at me (6,3,6)

It always seemed impossible that you could get such a long solution from so short a clue.

@9 there is no definition.
Add 'for breakfast?' and it's fine.

I like this by Araucaria.

Of of of of of of of of of of (10)

Like @1 it seems more of a dingbat to me than a crossword clue.....but still clever.

The GEGS clue formed a major part of an episode of Drop the Dead Donkey many years ago. The male newsreader spent the whole episode trying, and failing, to solve it. Then a courier comes in and tells him the answer - the show concluded with the newsreader chasing the courier all round London.
