Sardines are used to summon the Mighty Eagle in some games.

Classic
It's a brick-shaped metal can with bigger borders and a pink sardine symbol on top.

Movie
The design of the sardines can is different, they have Mighty Eagle eating a sardine.

Beta
It wasn't a Sardine Can, but rather a mouse. The mouse was gray and round, with a separate oval head with big round ears with pink skin, a black snout and large clueless eyes with black pupils. The mouse also had a light belly and a long tail.

Achieving Total Destruction with the Mighty Eagle will earn the player a feather. The Eagle Eye also is next to the try again button if the player fails a level (on the right) if the player hasn't beaten the level normally (or at all).

An unused sprite hints the can was going to be a mouse. Which Mighty Eagle would come and pick him. However, it was changed, possibly because of the fact that it featured Mighty Eagle preying on an alive animal. It's unknown if the mouse was going to be animated and would squeak instead.

Angry Birds (game)
Debuting in the Ham 'Em High update with the Mighty Eagle on iOS and in the same update which added power-ups on Android, it was used to summon said character when pressing the Mighty Eagle button.

When the player shoots the sardines from the slingshot, the Mighty Eagle comes down to attack in a wide V-Shape. When the player touches an eye symbol next to the pause button, all the birds disintegrate and a can of sardines spawns on the slingshot. The Sardines themselves can pop pigs and knockdown weak structures. They are very bouncy and will bounce off most surfaces. The best position for them is the front of the structure, so the Eagle can get heavy destruction.

Angry Birds Seasons
The sardine once again appears as an object used in the game which debuted in the v1.5.2 update on iOS and in the same update which added power-ups on Android except in Year of the Dragon and Ham Dunk where it's replaced by the Red Koi Fish and the backpack which summons the Mighty Basketball.

The Angry Birds Movie
The sardines can appears when Mighty Eagle is leaving his armchair after singing the Mighty Eagle Song. He almost slips on one of the cans. There is also a big sardine as a trophy on his cave's walls.

In a deleted scene, Mighty Eagle eats sardines from the can while telling his coconut story. It can be watched here.

Trivia
Банка с сардинами
 * The sardine can's shape is the reason why it's often confused with a bar of soap.
