I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'warbler's' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'eaten such nuts' is the wordplay.
'nuts' indicates an anagram (nuts can mean crazy).
'eaten'+'such'='eatensuch'
'eatensuch' anagrammed gives 'CHANTEUSE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chanteuse that I've seen before include "Female cabaret singer" , "Tunes ache for this French woman singer" , "Female popular singer" , "She sings popular songs" , "A French female nightclub singer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
