Birds

In the Angry Birds series, the Birds are the main protagonists of the Angry Birds series, which come in a variety of different species. Their main goal is to retrieve the un-hatched eggs that their arch-nemesis, the Pigs, stole. Since then the birds care more about revenge than anything, and hurl themselves at the various structures the Pigs constructed. There are 10 bird species (but 17 actual birds), including the Mighty Eagle.

The bird's only known allies include the Mighty Eagle, and in the crossover title Angry Birds Rio, Blu and Jewel, who are later separated and you can just use Blu because Jewel is captured .When a level is completed with unused birds, the player is awarded with 10,000 points for each bird.

Special Tricks
If the screen is touched or clicked while a bird is moving, it will do a special trick or a unusual noise. This is unavailable if the bird has touched another object, including another bird.


 * Red Bird - Says "Caw Caw" or "Gnaah".


 * Blue Bird - Multiplies into 3, and each clone is bumped slightly up or down.


 * Yellow Bird - Gains more speed (its speed becomes equal to a certain speed, no matter what speed it was moving before) and makes a more of a high pitched sound than before. It also leaves a trail of clouds behind.


 * Black Bird - Explodes.


 * White Bird - Drops an egg which then explodes. The bird itself becomes shrivelled and is propelled fast upwards and to the right. The body still collides and can be used as a powerful Red Bird.


 * Green Bird - (AKA Boomerang Bird) - Opens its beak to fly the opposite way than it was heading, maintaining the same speed and vertical direction
 * Big Brother Bird - Moans, and breaks through anything except ground.
 * Orange Bird (AKA Globe Bird) - Expands like a balloon, then pops.
 * Mighty Eagle - Smashing everything and causes an earthquake



Trivia

 * On the main menu of the original game, when the player touches any of the flying birds, (not including the ones far off into the background), that bird will make its signature noise. (This works only on the normal game)
