Ice Bird

Ice Bird is a member of Red's flock who first and solely debuted in Angry Birds Space. She is an extraterrestrial companion to the Flock who helps them defeat the space pigs. She is the second original character to be introduced outside of the classic Angry Birds game.

Ice Bird appears exclusively to Angry Birds Space, but makes cameos  in Angry Birds Friends! (In the Lotus F1 Tournament as a poster), Lotus F1 and animations, in Boba's Delivery as a gag.

Appearance
He has no feathers. Instead, his body is a cube shaped block of ice, that seemingly cannot melt. He has two rectangular icicles on his head and back, a long beak and brown eyebrows.

Personality
Ice Bird is a very mysterious character, and not much is known about her origins. She is very serious and hostile, and does not trust very easily. Despite this, she is very loyal to those close to him such as Red's flock as well as her egg.

Plot
Not much is known about Ice Bird prior to the events of Angry Birds Space.

Ice Bird is first introduced when she falls out of a wormhole. She is initially hostile to the birds, out of the intention of protecting his eggsteroid. However, their first encounter is interuppted when King Pig's ship bursts through the wormhole and captures the eggsteroid, along with the flock's eggs. This event initiates Ice Bird to fly back into the wormhole, and the flock (consisting of Red, The Blues, Chuck, Bomb, Terence and Bubbles) to follow them through the slingshot.

The flock encounters Ice Bird later on in the chapter Cold Cuts, where he is held in captivity by the pigs. Once freed, she convinces the Flock to help her in his quest to recover her eggsteroid. According to promotional material, she intends on saving his home planet from the Space Pigs, though this planet is never expanded upon nor introduced.

Gameplay
In the game, Ice Bird explodes when her ability is triggered causing the objects in her proximity to be frozen into an ice/glass-like material. This ability can be triggered by the player or automatically, moments after first impact, similar to Bomb. Ice Bird's explosion doesn't directly damage any regular blocks or pigs, but will make them brittle and easier to break. Her ability will also set off any explosive objects in range, such as TNT. Ice Bird and the Lightning Birds (the Blues) are often paired due to their compatibility.
