Red

The Red Bird, also referred to as the Default Bird, Mascot Bird, 'Main Bird, and the Cardinal Bird, is one of the several different styles of Birds that are controlled in Angry Birds and Angry Birds Rio. They are typically referred to as the mascot of the series. If the screen is tapped while this bird is moving, it will yell out "Caw Caw!"

The Red Bird is the first seen, and used in the series, starting from the very first stage. In the first few levels, these birds will be able to cause great damage to the weaker structures, but as the player advances through, he or she will soon discover the Red Bird doesn't have much strength compared to the other birds, and can usually only shatter about one long wooden block before becoming a corpse.

Trivia

 * The Red Bird does not have a special ability. When tapped, it will result in a simple "Bacoock!" or "Gannah!" from the bird.
