Flower, not a sausage, for bird (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
daffy duck
'bird' is the definition.
(cartoon duck)
'flower not a sausage' is the wordplay.
'flower' becomes 'daffy' (short for daffodil).
'not a sausage' becomes 'duck' (both can mean zero or nothing).
'daffy'+'duck'='DAFFY DUCK'
'for' acts as a link.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
