Angry Birds (game)/Glitches

A glitch is an error in a game in which something happens that the game makers did not intend to make happen. Also called bugs.

List of Glitches
Here is the list of glitches found in Angry Birds.

Corpse Glitch
Prerequisites: Yellow Bird or Boomerang Bird unlocked

How to: Fire a Yellow or Boomerang bird into the air while using its ability. Then, fire a second bird (this one can be any bird) so it hits the first bird with the ability. If done correctly, a yellow bird will have its "speeding" sprite replacing its Corpse sprite, and the boomerang bird will have its mouth wide open as if it's flying in the air.

Notes: Explanation: The game makers programmed a bird to enter its corpse sprite if it hit the ground, pigs, blocks, other birds, etc. They, however, probably forgot to progam the system when a bird using its ability hits a flying bird, thus leaving the bird "frozen", until it disintegrates.
 * The glitched bird will disappear after left immobilized, just like any other corpse, but will make pain noises and such.
 * An additional White Bird corpse glitch can be performed. Perform the Corpse Glitch with the Boomerang Bird, but use the White bird as the secondary bird. If done correctly, the White bird should have a face with closed eyes and a tight beak, as if it's flying in the air before shooting the egg bomb.

White Bird Glitch
Prerequisites: White Bird unlocked

How to: Fire the white bird and use its egg-shooting ability. Angle the bird so that it will hit a piece of ground (indestructable material). Sometimes if this would happen, the White Bird will become its non-egg-shooting corpse sprite. This will only happen in Angry Birds Rio.

Slingshot Glitch
Prerequisites: Unlock any level in which the birds next to the slingshot are so close, the bird on the slingshot can stretch and touch them.

How to: "Rub" the bird on the slingshot on another unused bird. The slingshot bird should slowly rotate, allowing the player to fire upside-down birds and such.

Explanation: The Bird on the slingshot always rotates when hit by flying debris, or other birds. If using Boomerang Bird's boomerang ability, it would sometimes come flying back to the unused bird by the slingshot if you tap him too early. If Boomerang hits an unused bird, the bird will emit pain noises.

Restart Glich (Angry Birds (Google Chrome) only)
Prerequisites: None

How to: In Angry Birds Google Chrome, there is a slight possibility that the game will restart.

Explanation: When the game was being updated for the White Bird to have two corpses, making buttons to press instead of scrolling, etc., somehow this glitch came in to all areas updated.

Blank Screen Glitch (cannot be used in PC and Mac)
Prerequisites: Lagging game (can be done with low battery)

How to: Tap the screen multiple times while performing an action (such as launching a bird from the Slingshot) while the game lags, and if done correctly, the game will partialy crash and the screen will go all white or all black, but with the pause button remaining. The only way to get out of the glitch is to go back to the level selection menu; resetting the level does nothing.

Notes: Since the HD versions usually don't lag, this will not work on the HD versions.

Freeze Glitch
If the player updated Angry Birds for the first Mine and Dine levels and tap on Start, the game will freeze and will turn blank when turned on. This was later fixed when they added the final set of Mine and Dine levels.

Tomorrow Glitch
Prerequisites: Angry Birds Google Chrome, between December 1st and December 25th

How to: If the player waits long enough, the Seasons Greeding's level for the next day will appear.

Orange Bird Glitch
Go to Angry Birds Seasons 2-13 (Ham,o,ween) or Angry Birds Rio 12-3 (Smugglers' Plane), for 2-13, where in the front there is an indestructable spiral, shoot orange bird there, and when he expands, he will disappear. In Smugglers' Plane, shoot green bird there to destroy the front of it, so orange bird can shoot into the thin gap and make sure he gets to the bottom so when he expands, he will also disappear.

Invisibility Glitch ( Google Chrome only)
If your computer is slow enough the red bird will turn invisible. But most of the time the red bird will be visible.

Blue Bird Glitch
Go to level 3-2 in angry birds. fire the blue bird up to the "ceiling" and split the blue bird at the last second. this should make the blue bird up top fly straight up or off to the right just like the white bird does when he drops an egg
