The clue "Bird, edible native of China" leads to the answer "KIWI" for several reasons:

1. Bird: The term "bird" here refers to the Kiwi bird, which is a unique, flightless bird native to New Zealand. While it's not from China, the word "bird" can be a hint for the answer "KIWI" due to its association with the Kiwi bird.
2. Edible: In this context, "edible" points to the kiwi fruit, which is indeed a fruit that is widely consumed worldwide. The clue uses misdirection by mentioning the bird first, creating a playful twist for the solver.
