Bakers go bananas for flier (8)

I believe the answer is:

grosbeak

'flier' is the definition.
(grosbeak is a kind of birdanimal)

'bakers go bananas' is the wordplay.
'bananas' is an anagram indicator (informal term for mad).
'bakers'+'go'='bakersgo'
'bakersgo' with letters rearranged gives 'GROSBEAK'.

'for' is the link.
