Talk:Matilda

The glitch?
For some reason the white bird drops an invisible explosive egg when tapping on screen. Happens on Angry Birds for Android, I will make a picture later on this day.

He can make eggs but he's still male?

Chubby Bird
What determines which fan aliases are kept and which are removed? A little while ago I added "Chubby Bird" to the list of fan aliases and it got removed. I'm just wondering why it was, as it was really called the Chubby Bird in a web page:

http://www.yhyqart.com/2011/12/12/witty-funny-real-angry-birds-sweet-imagination/


 * I'm sure with some effort you could come up with pretty much any fan alias for any bird. The point would be that only ones that are widely accepted should be on the list. For example, "Chicken Bird" is used because the White bird looks like a chicken. AMslimfordy 19:19, March 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * When I updated the templates for the main birds, I purposefully changed the format to include the official name from Rovio (for the week), any pseudo-official or early placeholder names and a separate area for fan names because there are dozens. I agree that there should be a cut-off and a limit, though. I don't remember specifically about Chubby Bird, but there might have been something else in your edit that got the update rolled back. If there was incorrect information AND a fan name, chances are the fan name will be sacrificed without a second thought. DoctorOmega 08:50, March 29, 2012 (UTC)

Gender Confirmed By Rovio
[] The page is locked. Can some make this change, possibly including the reference? Thanks

Why does nobody change it? They all still think that the white bird is male!

White Bird is a Female?
The weird about it is that white bird is a female.



No, there's a lot of evidence to support that the White Bird is male. A twitter comment says nothing about proving that it is female. Qazqaz 555  16:25, August 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well it lays eggs, something female birds do, and this is a official Angry Birds twitter, managed by the people of Rovio, and they know about their birds better than us. And I've never saw Rovio saying "White Bird is a male", if they ever did, please correct me. — Lilonow (talk) 17:15, August 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * If so, then why would they make a female version in Hogs and Kisses? And those eggs that the White Bird lays explode, showing that they aren't real. If those eggs were real, then it would be illogical that the Birds would use so many other eggs as weaponry just to save three eggs.


 * And about this "official" twitter, could you please tell me who manages it? Someone working for Rovio may not be directly working with the games, and could be making assumptions.

 * Maybe it's just that bird, or a different bird of the same species with a makeup... The white bird being a female could explain some things such as its hairstyle on Sakura Ninja, or, maybe a image I've seen by the wiki I can't seem to find, it's about the Red Bird and the White Bird marrying, and the white bird as the bride, without any makeup. Also, those eggs it lays obviously doesn't have chicks on them, but they come from inside the bird. Well, for a game with green pigs, some birds laying explosive eggs is normal, lol.
 * As you can see that twitter account was verified, which mens it's official. If you're still not convinced it is official, click here and go to the bottom of the page. And, the one which manages it should work with Angry Birds, as they won't let anyone that doesn't even works on their game to say stuff about it. Since that twitter is official and that means it has resourceful and official info, I think that is true.
 * Anyways, I think there is still some stuff to be known on a more formal way about white bird's gender, and I can't give more proofs than the ones I've given here, but we can do a bit more research before stating on the page "it IS a female". — Lilonow (talk) 00:26, August 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Then we'll leave it as male for now. Qazqaz  555  00:30, August 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * No. There are more than enough facts prooving the White Bird is downright female; they just made the Female White Bird on accident because they didn't seem to care about genders around the time, or they just overlooked it since the franchise was still young at that time. Superjustinbros. (talk) 09:25, August 8, 2012 (UTC)

Gender; needs conformation.
The White Bird is a female. Never have I seen a male bird produce eggs of any type. Rovio also said themselves the White Bird is female. Superjustinbros. (talk) 04:33, August 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * That was confirmed two times by Rovio on twitter. There, I don't understand why everybody keeps on denying the fact it is a female. After this second time it seems clear they aren't mistaken, it is a female. — Lilonow (talk) 16:06, August 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * I've looked through the entire Twitter feeds for Rovio and Angry Birds and haven't seen a single instance of them confirming its gender either way. I'm personally disinclined to think that this particular White Bird is a female, as there is another completely different-looking White Bird that is definitely female. As for male birds not producing eggs: I've never seen any kind of bird explode after touching something, or split itself into three copies, or fire itself out of a slingshot at a castle built by a bunch of green pigs-yet all these things, and more, happen in Angry Birds. 74.98.211.252 00:05, August 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * To 74.98.211.252, there are several linked references above in this "Talk" section. Also, here's another Tweet from Rovio that says female. Also, this image from Rovio portraying the White Bird as Kate Middleton. Also, in Sakura Ninja, the White Bird is dressed as a Geisha, a female role. 24.147.10.206 00:28, August 9, 2012 (UTC)

I didnt know the white bird was a girl!!!!!

GENDER CHANGED
They changed the article, now it says white bird is a girl. Can we just remove gender and change all pronouns to "It" It would make it easier. -Wikiboy24

Possible name
By Rovio's official trading cards, White Bird has named Matilda. 62.216.112.60 18:07, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

.... What trading cards? I don't see any in the Angry Birds Store.... MatsianPride (talk) 18:24, September 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * I've got those from a supermarket from Finland. I was surprised too. Nietvart (talk) 19:19, September 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * She's also in Toy Care's product presentation for their line of Angry Birds 3D toothbrushes. I'll just leave this here for quick reference:

Name: The White Bird's real name is Matilda. Somebody forgot to post the picture and edited the post.
