Female sheep, male goose heard in the country (6)
I believe the answer is:
uganda
'country' is the definition.
(I know that Uganda is a African country)
'female sheep male goose heard' is the wordplay.
'female sheep' becomes 'u' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'male goose' becomes 'gander' (I've seen this in another clue).
'heard' shows a homophone (sound like).
'gander' is a homophone of 'ganda'.
'u'+'ganda'='UGANDA'
'in the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for uganda that I've seen before include "Country W. of Kenya" , "It was Idi Amin's country" , "A gun ad (anag)" , "East African republic" , "Idi Amin's native land" .)
