Red Bird is a character in the Angry Birds series of games created by Rovio Entertainment. He is also the leader first introduced in 2009, the character is the primary bird used in marketing to promote the series.

The first bird used in the game, he has appeared as a playable character in every version and episode of the game released so far, though he is not necessarily in all levels. In the Fuji TV exclusive episode: Sakura Ninja, Red Bird appears dressed as a ninja. This was the first time he has appeared in costume in any game ( this is technically not completely true, because in the 3 star golden egg in Go green Get lucky in Angry Birds Seasons, he wears a green leprachaun hat.) and completely new game sprites were created for this episode.

Ability
Starting at the first level, Poached Eggs, Red Bird is able to cause great damage to the weaker structures, but as the player advances through the levels and episodes, they soon discover that Red Bird doesn't have much strength compared to the other birds, and can usually only shatter about one long wood or glass block in every turn.

Red Bird is useful through all levels, as he can be used to finish off areas that have been weakened by other birds.

In the game, the Red Bird has no special abilities or advantages whatsoever. When tapped or clicked, it will produce "Hadoken'!" or "Here I Come'!" cry, as with Big Brother Bird. If you keep him waiting too long, he gets impatient and says "Come On!"

Personality
Red Bird is very reponsible and eager. He is mosly known for preparing and appearing at special events, and of course his talent for eliminating Pigs. He also cares for the eggs, and sometimes dresses them up by putting a cap on them to keep them warm, making him the only bird with specified parenting skills. His best friend and confidant is Yellow Bird, as he regularly reassures and engourages his enthusiastic friend. He is also known for being a strong and responsible leader. He's an honorable soldier and is willing to give his life for the good of the flock and the sake of his children. He dies with dignity, a trillion times daily, and gets right back up and does it again!

History
Little is known about Red Bird’s history before the events of the first Angry Birds game. It is known that he went through a baby, child, and teenager periods in his youth and for now, he's an adult.



Once the King Pig decided to steal eggs from the Birds on their island, Red Bird has been at the forefront of the war between the Angry Birds and the Bad Piggies. 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. He is considered the leader of the Flock, though he displays no exceptional powers as the others do.

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 Red 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.

In addition to Rio, Red Bird has also traveled to China twice and Japan, where he dressed as a ninja.

During the Wreck the Halls adventure, Red Bird and Bomb took the lead in chasing the Pigs through the snow on skis.

In one conflict, the Bad Piggies stole a girl egg. When the flock retrieved her, Red Bird was seen in the company of a female counterpart watching over the eggs. From the picture taken, it would appear that this is his mate and the Boy and Girl eggs are his offspring.

In another adventure, Red Bird and the Flock were whisked into Space via a wormhole, gained special abilities as a result of the wormhole energy, and fought the Space King and the Space Pigs in order to regain their stolen eggs.

Trivia

 * Two versions of Red Bird wearing aviation-related head gear were created for the Angry Birds Asian Challenge completion.
 * Terence appears to be the same species as Red Bird and may, in fact, be related. Other than the Blue Birds, there are no other birds of the same species in the Flock core group.
 * An officially licensed t-shirt entitled “Nerdy Birdy” showed Red Bird with glasses and a bow tie. The image was so popular that a plush version was created. It should be noted that the Nerdy Birdy is not Bird_01.png new character, just the Red Bird wearing a bowtie and eye glasses.
 * Since he is the first bird that appears in the game, he is the basic bird.
 * In most cinematic trailers, his gill-shaped wings are replaced with wrinkles.
 * Although Red Bird has no arms or legs, he is seen holding objects. This is probably because it has wings, though it can only hold small objects and cannot fly.

 * On May 13, 2012, the Red Bird cameoed in a Garfield Sunday Comic in the title panel.
 * In the Screwbot Factory minigame in Rhythm Heaven Fever, if you screw the Screwbots at the near end of the game in rare conditions, the player will play an Angry Birds version of the game. Red Bird will appear instead of the black Screwbots and Yellow Bird will appear instead of the white Screwbots. The player will have to screw the seats while the Birds' are sitting on it in time to the beat instead of screwing the Screwbot's heads in time to the beat.
