Posh bird mentioned the country (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uganda

'the country' is the definition.
(Uganda is an example)

'posh bird mentioned' is the wordplay.
'posh' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for upper-class - opposite to non-U).
'bird' becomes 'gander' (male goose).
'mentioned' shows a homophone (sound like).
'gander' sounds like 'ganda'.
'u'+'ganda'='UGANDA'

(Other definitions for uganda that I've seen before include "literally the centre for sugar?" , "A gun ad (anag)" , "African country once ruled by Idi Amin, capital Kampala" , "somewhere in Africa" , "Country bordering Lake Victoria" .)
