Birds ask us out (5)

I believe the answer is:

skuas

'birds' is the definition.
(skua is a kind of bird)

'ask us out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'ask'+'us'='askus'
'askus' anagrammed gives 'SKUAS'.

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
