Birds
There are currently eight different styles of playable birds., shown in the order they are first presented to the player. Each bird has a different ability, such as being able to boomerang back on itself, splitting to three, or exploding, these abilities are activated by tapping the screen while the bird is flying. Below is the list of birds.


 * Red Bird - Does nothing but does make a yell when tapped and does great at popping pigs.


 * Yellow Bird - Picks up speed and distance when tapped. Best against wood.
 * Black Bird - Explodes when tapped or upon inpact. Best on stone.
 * White Bird - Drops an egg bomb that explodes on impact when tapped and does great on wood.
 * Boomerang (Green) Bird - Comes back like a boomerang when tapped and does great on wood and glass.
 * Big Brother Bird - No special abilities when tapped, but destroys materials with ease.
 * Orange Bird - Inflates to huge size like a balloon when tapped or upon impact, then deflates a little later. Best against wood.
 * Pink Bird - When tapped turns into bubbles, and lifts up objects like blocks and Pigs.
 * Mighty Eagle - You first launch sardines and when it hits the ground, the Mighty Eagle will come down, destroy everything in it's path hit the ground and cause an earthquake, popping all pigs he missed, then come back up, while also destroying everything in it's path; kind of like a V but wider.

Power Ups
You may also use Power Ups in levels of the game. Power Ups can help you improve your scores in levels and help you get more stars.There are 4 Power Ups, and you can use 2 per level. Here are the 4 Power-Ups:


 * Super Seeds: Super Seeds turn any bird on the slingshot bigger and tougher.


 * King Sling: King Sling upgrades your slingshot so that when flung, birds can go faster and farther than before.


 * Sling Scope: Sling Scope allows you to see where your bird's gonna go before you fling them.


 * Birdquake: Birdquake rumbles the ground in a level and can make pig's structures fall down.

Power Ups are limited, and if you run out, you must purchase more to have more OR...


 * Slot Machine: In Angry Birds Classic, you can play any level daily to receive a FREE daily powerup from the "Angry Birds Power-Up Slot Machine". Whatever you get three in a row from the Slot Machine, that'll be the PowerUp you'll receive. For example, get three Birdquakes in a row in the Slot Machine, you'll receive a Birdquake. Be aware that the Slot Machine goes only ONCE every day, so once you received your free daily PowerUp, you'll have to wait until the next day to receive another PowerUp from the Slot Machine. When the next day comes, if you start any level, the Slot Machine appears ANYTIME.

Fun Fact: Power Ups used to be exclusive in Angry Birds Friends.
