Bird's complaint (6)

I believe the answer is:

grouse

I believe this is a double definition.

'bird's' is the first definition.
(grouse is a kind of bird)

'complaint' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for grouse that I've seen before include "1D [GAMEBIRD] < having grumble" , "Complain pettily" , "Complain like game bird" , "Petty complaint" , "Complain like gamebird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
