Personality
Yellow Bird has a short temper when it comes to egg theft and, like most of the Flock, becomes enraged easily when eggs are discovered missing. In the opening scenes of Poached Eggs and Mighty Hoax, while The Flock examines the empty nest with question marks (?) above their heads, Yellow Bird exclaims a “#” while seeing the Bad Piggies with the eggs, potentially indicating he uses bad language. Though he could of been thinking it.

In the animated game trailer, Red Bird, Yellow Bird and one Blue Bird 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. He is the best friend and confidant of Red Bird. he can rip up wood in space

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

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

In another adventure, Yellow Bird and the Flock were whisked into Space via a wormhole, gained super powers and fought the Space King and the Space Pigs. He goes by the name of Lazer Bird while in Space. Main article: Angry Birds Space

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.

To activate the Yellow Bird’s speed rush ability, a player must launch him into the air, then tap the screen or click the mouse to activate the speed boost. 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.

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

 * When it turns into a corpse, the Yellow Bird rolls, even though it has flat sides.


 * The Boomerang Bird makes the Yellow Bird's pain noises when becoming a corpse.
