It was an episode of Captain Nice about a caterpillar that somehow drank some of the hero's super-strength formula.
In the end, the hero gave the formula to his pet bird so said bird could get the caterpillar, and the episode ends as they discuss the unintended consequences.

Hello tropers !
I am currently looking for a TV show (it might actually have been an film, but I'm not sure) I watched (on rerun) when I was young.
It might have been from the 70's, and I think the whole point of the show was a superman spoof.
I remember a scene from an episode where the backstory is about a pet bird that somehow acquired a super strenght.
The dialog goes like this :
Policeman [pointing to the sky] : It's a bird! No, it's a plane! No...
Spoof Superman [handing a birdcage with the bars damaged] : No, it's a bird!
Does any of this ring a bell? Thank you!
