Charm bird removing clothing (3)

I haven't cracked this one yet — but the brilliant team at Times for the Times have:

{r}OBI{n} (bird) [removing clothing]. Nothing to do with the sash worn with a Japanese kimono, but an alternative spelling of ‘obeah’, a  charm or amulet used in a kind of witchcraft that originated in Africa and is practised by some people in the Caribbean. A traditional ‘top-and-tail’ clue this time.
