The core plot matches: the bridegroom rescues a captured bride from a supernatural adversary whose life is externalized in a bird, destroys that life-token, and the antagonist dies; the grateful animal helpers and marriage also align. Differences from the canonical wording are material but do not overturn this recognizable variant: the life-token is in one bird rather than an egg/enclosing series, there is no animal-shape transformation, and the captor is an old man rather than explicitly an ogre.
