Meaningful nudge from flamboyant bird with hat on (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
broad hint
'meaningful nudge' is the definition.
'flamboyant bird with hat on' is the wordplay.
'flamboyant' indicates an anagram (an exciting or flamboyant version of the letters).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'bird'+'hat'+'on'='birdhaton'
'birdhaton' anagrammed gives 'BROAD HINT'.
'from' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
