What was the name of this film?

Animated film that opens with a covered birdcage floating on the ocean with a talking bird inside.

RTE showed it one rainy day late 80s instead of some sports coverage (wimbeldon maybe). I remember really liking it but never heard of it again.

I cannot claim to have seen it, and remembered it. Just some googling.
