Personality
Yellow Bird was entusiasic and arrogant. He always wanted to be the best of the Flock, being one of the most restless Bird in the Flock. In the opening scenes of Poached Eggs and Mighty Hoax, while The Flock examines the empty nest with question marks (which indicates they are saying "What?") above their heads, Yellow Bird exclaims a “#” (which indicates he is saying a bad word) while seeing the Bad Piggies with the eggs, potentially meaning he uses bad language. Though he could of been thinking it.

In the animated game trailer, Red Bird, Yellow Bird, one Blue Bird, and Bomb were the first to discover the first eggs missing after severely attacking an insect for landing on their eggs.

When not fighting Pigs, Yellow Bird is a practical joker and uses his jokes to liven up the Flock. He is also known as Maching Bird, a name that describes his penchant for jokes as well as his intense speed. He is described as enthusiastic and restless, although a little unconfident in the comics. He is the best friend and confidant of Red Bird

History
Little is known about Yellow Bird’s history before the events of the first Angry Birds game. His original look, showing two top feathers and dark eyebrows, similar to Red Bird (and again exclaiming “#”) and was much smaller in size. This was later changed to his final look with a mop of black hair-like feathers on the top of his head.



In the course of the battles with the Pigs, he has traveled to many different locations and environments, including the desert, underground caves and beaches. The Pigs never rest in their quest to steal eggs and the Flock often has to retrieve their eggs on holidays and special occasions. In one instance, the Pigs captured the entire Flock, including Yellow Bird. It was only for the actions of Terence, the Big Brother Bird that the Flock was freed.

At an indeterminate time later, the Flock was captured as rare birds and taken to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where they fought with Blu and Jewel and their friends against Nigel the cockatoo and Mauro and his marmosets. Main article: Angry Birds Rio

Strategy

 * The yellow bird is very strong on wood, making him a good bird to use on it. Hovever, he can't destroy square blocks that well and can only shatter one square block.
 * Try not to use him on stone. He can shatter one small piece of stone, but if used on stone blocks, he can only weaken it. It requires about 2 yellow birds to shatter a single block of stone. They tip stone over, but often requires multiples of them to do so.
 * Never use him on ice. He can shatter only one block of it and will slow down immediatly.

In the Fuji TV exclusive episode: Sakura Ninja, Yellow Bird appears dressed as a samurai. This was the first time he has appeared in costume in any game and completely new game sprites were created for this episode.

The most effective attacks with Yellow Bird are to launch him upward and let him arc down onto a target, or to fling in a straight line horizontally at a target.

 * class="diff-deletedline"|Yellow Bird’s rush ability allows him to pick up speed to cause the most possible damage to the Pigs and their fortresses. Much like many of the other birds, his strength usually varies depending on the block and angle that is struck. Yellow Bird is most effective against wood obstacles, able to penetrate several walls easily due to his speed. However, he is weak against glass/ice despite it having a much weaker strength than wood.

Trivia

 * colspan="2"|
 * class="diff-marker"|
 * class="diff-deletedline"|
 * When it turns into a corpse, the Yellow Bird rolls, even though its body is a triangle.
 * The Boomerang Bird makes the Yellow Bird's pain noises when becoming a corpse.
 * While Yellow Bird can appear to be triangular in shape,is actually cone shaped.
 * The Yellow Bird's top feathers appear like the Red Bird's feathers in some cutscenes;this was later removed.
 * In the cutscenes, before the new version of Angry Birds Original, the Yellow Bird is the same size as the Blue Bird.
 * As seen in a picture in Angry Birds trilogy, Yellow Bird's name is, suprisingly, Chuck.
 * This makes him and Big Brother Bird the only two birds with known real names unless you count the accidental bomb bird's name bob
