I've managed to uncover 95% of everything I watched during my childhood. I've been deep in animated series from all over the world, obscure puppet animation short films from the Czech Republic, and everything inbetween. But there's a couple of things I've never been able to find, including this one.
I grew up in Denmark, and this particular series was aired as part of a Danish children's programme, probably around 1994-1997 - but the series could be older. I'd say each episode was 8-10 min. in length. As well as I can remember, it was about a grumpy bird (which I think was blue) always outsmarting human hoodlums trying to either catch it or steal it. I don't remember it having any dialogue, it was rather just mumbling and sound effects. Thinking back, I'd say it had a pretty cheap look, and I'm sure it was European. It did not have an American look. It's really hard to describe, and that's really all I have to go after.
So: - 8-10 min. episodes - Big blue (?) bird as protagonist (but he seemed kind of tired and grumpy always) - A gang of human antagonists (thinking back, I want them to look like the Daltons from Lucky Luke, but they probably didn't)
If any of you can uncover this, I'm deeply impressed!
