Possibly Japanese or Czech, but there are similar types of figurines which were made in Australia in the 50s-70s which are highly sought after by Australian collectors. Unfortunately I'm not experienced enough to be able to tell the difference.

I think it's some kind of spill vase. Spills are described by Wikipedia as "tapers for transferring fire, for example to light a candle or pipe from a lighted fire."  If you google Czech bird "spill vase" you'll find similar, but usually with fewer and larger holes.
