Phew....That was a good one, drove me nuts....In contrast, here's an easy one to get things going:

**U

'I'm a **U, how do you do?'

- - I - - U - -

Dangling d’s, a near provocation.

GNU is correct, of course. My first 'clue' refers to a Flanders and Swann song, from I suppose the 1950's, 'The Gnu Song', which still makes me chuckle! Worth five minutes out of a day if anyone isn't familiar with it....

‘Near’ provocation? As in stirr ups?

You were right.

I chuckled at that. If anyone could have guessed that, it should have been me. 😵‍💫

@indonesia-phil said
You deserve the accolades for getting those two words anyway, I certainly didn't think of 'Swastikas' !!

Okay, big clue; it's a bird, and nothing to 'grouse' about....

Had to check the spelling, long time since I've seen it in print ... PTARMIGAN!
