African doctor is able to accommodate gigantic bird (8)
I believe the answer is:
moroccan
'african' is the definition.
(Moroccan is an example)
'doctor is able to accommodate gigantic bird' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'mo' (medical officer).
'is able to' becomes 'can' (if you can do something you are able to do it).
'accommodate' indicates putting letters inside.
'gigantic bird' becomes 'roc' (I've seen this before).
'mo'+'can'='mocan'
'mocan' going around 'roc' is 'MOROCCAN'.
(Other definitions for moroccan that I've seen before include "Native of Casablanca" , "north African" , "From Casablanca, perhaps?" .)
