Birds no longer suffice as stuffing for cooks (6)

I believe the answer is:

dodoes

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

'birds no longer' is the definition.
(extinct bird species)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for dodoes that I've seen before include "people with little intelligence" , "Old-fashioned types" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
