Talk:Matilda

The glitch?
For some reason the white bird drops an invisible explosive egg when tapping on screen. Happens on Angry Birds for Android, I will make a picture later on this day.

He can make eggs but he's still male?

Chubby Bird
What determines which fan aliases are kept and which are removed? A little while ago I added "Chubby Bird" to the list of fan aliases and it got removed. I'm just wondering why it was, as it was really called the Chubby Bird in a web page:

http://www.yhyqart.com/2011/12/12/witty-funny-real-angry-birds-sweet-imagination/


 * I'm sure with some effort you could come up with pretty much any fan alias for any bird. The point would be that only ones that are widely accepted should be on the list. For example, "Chicken Bird" is used because the White bird looks like a chicken. AMslimfordy 19:19, March 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * When I updated the templates for the main birds, I purposefully changed the format to include the official name from Rovio (for the week), any pseudo-official or early placeholder names and a separate area for fan names because there are dozens. I agree that there should be a cut-off and a limit, though. I don't remember specifically about Chubby Bird, but there might have been something else in your edit that got the update rolled back. If there was incorrect information AND a fan name, chances are the fan name will be sacrificed without a second thought. DoctorOmega 08:50, March 29, 2012 (UTC)

Gender Confirmed By Rovio
[] The page is locked. Can some make this change, possibly including the reference? Thanks

Why does nobody change it? They all still think that the white bird is male!

White Bird is a male ?
The weird about it is that white bird is a male



No, there's a lot of evidence to support that the White Bird is male. A twitter comment says nothing about proving that it is female. Qazqaz 555  16:25, August 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well it lays eggs, something female birds do, and this is a official Angry Birds twitter, managed by the people of Rovio, and they know about their birds better than us. And I've never saw Rovio saying "White Bird is a male", if they ever did, please correct me. — Lilonow (talk) 17:15, August 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * If so, then why would they make a female version in Hogs and Kisses? And those eggs that the White Bird lays explode, showing that they aren't real. If those eggs were real, then it would be illogical that the Birds would use so many other eggs as weaponry just to save three eggs.


 * And about this "official" twitter, could you please tell me who manages it? Someone working for Rovio may not be directly working with the games, and could be making assumptions.
 * Qazqaz 555  17:52, August 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Maybe it's just that bird, or a different bird of the same species with a makeup... The white bird being a female could explain some things such as its hairstyle on Sakura Ninja, or, maybe a image I've seen by the wiki I can't seem to find, it's about the Red Bird and the White Bird marrying, and the white bird as the bride, without any makeup. Also, those eggs it lays obviously doesn't have chicks on them, but they come from inside the bird. Well, for a game with green pigs, some birds laying explosive eggs is normal, lol.
 * As you can see that twitter account was verified, which mens it's official. If you're still not convinced it is official, click here and go to the bottom of the page. And, the one which manages it should work with Angry Birds, as they won't let anyone that doesn't even works on their game to say stuff about it. Since that twitter is official and that means it has resourceful and official info, I think that is true.
 * Anyways, I think there is still some stuff to be known on a more formal way about white bird's gender, and I can't give more proofs than the ones I've given here, but we can do a bit more research before stating on the page "it IS a female". — Lilonow (talk) 00:26, August 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Then we'll leave it as male for now. Qazqaz  555  00:30, August 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * No. There are more than enough facts prooving the White Bird is downright female; they just made the Female White Bird on accident because they didn't seem to care about genders around the time, or they just overlooked it since the franchise was still young at that time. Superjustinbros. (talk) 09:25, August 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * @Qazqaz555: I am wondering how you find out that White Bird is male? Can you list down the evidence? Other than the Hogs and Kisses counterpart, I am not able to find any other evidence in this wiki and other sites. 202.156.13.226 13:55, October 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * This discussion hase been over for 2 months, if you did not notice. There was no word from Rovio stating what gender the White Bird was before. I was not aware that they had confirmed it. That is all. Qazqaz  555  20:47, October 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, I didn't notice that the discussion is closed. Since we lack evidence, it's better to state White Bird's gender as 'uncomfirmed' and refer as 'it' instead of he/she. TheAngryAlly (talk) 19:34, October 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * In an image of Angry Birds Star Wars, white bird was C-3PO, and besides, I might ensure that its appearance might change, as the other females have eyelashes. 98.111.193.233 12:18, October 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * @98.111.193.233: In the game version, White Bird looks androgynous. Sometimes, the White Bird looks feminine, as in these three pictures:

Gender; needs conformation.
The White Bird is a female. Never have I seen a male bird produce eggs of any type. Rovio also said themselves the White Bird is female. Superjustinbros. (talk) 04:33, August 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * That was confirmed two times by Rovio on twitter. There, I don't understand why everybody keeps on denying the fact it is a female. After this second time it seems clear they aren't mistaken, it is a female. — Lilonow (talk) 16:06, August 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * I've looked through the entire Twitter feeds for Rovio and Angry Birds and haven't seen a single instance of them confirming its gender either way. I'm personally disinclined to think that this particular White Bird is a female, as there is another completely different-looking White Bird that is definitely female. As for male birds not producing eggs: I've never seen any kind of bird explode after touching something, or split itself into three copies, or fire itself out of a slingshot at a castle built by a bunch of green pigs-yet all these things, and more, happen in Angry Birds. 74.98.211.252 00:05, August 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * To 74.98.211.252, there are several linked references above in this "Talk" section. Also, here's another Tweet from Rovio that says female. Also, this image from Rovio portraying the White Bird as Kate Middleton. Also, in Sakura Ninja, the White Bird is dressed as a Geisha, a female role. 24.147.10.206 00:28, August 9, 2012 (UTC)

The egg bomb inside the White Bird met have a baby Bomb Bird inside.The Bomb1234 (talk) 07:59, September 23, 2012 (UTC)The Bomb1234
 * In the Angry Birds Trilogy promo video and the Angry Birds-Coca Cola promo video, the White Bird is seen with eyelashes and pink cheeks, but no bow on the head or lipstick. I am quite sure that the bird in these two video is Matilda and not the Hogs and Kisses counterpart.
 * In both instances, the Hogs and Kisses White Bird is a background character and does not appear in gameplay itself. It would be illogical for her to be cast in a promotional video, unless she is going to be part of the gameplay for that season. Hence, there is enough official evidence that Matilda is female.
 * Since the birds are known to wear costumes according to the occasion/season, could there also be a possibility that the Hogs and Kisses counterpart is actually Matilda in costume?

Possible name
By Rovio's official trading cards, White Bird has named Matilda. 62.216.112.60 18:07, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

.... What trading cards? I don't see any in the Angry Birds Store.... MatsianPride (talk) 18:24, September 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * I've got those from a supermarket from Finland. I was surprised too. Nietvart (talk) 19:19, September 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * She's also in Toy Care's product presentation for their line of Angry Birds 3D toothbrushes. I'll just leave this here for quick reference:

Name: The White Bird's real name is Matilda. Somebody forgot to post the picture and edited the post.

Matilda's multiple designs
Matilda has went through several design changes since her official release. Are these birds all the same bird, or different birds of the same breed?

TheAngryAlly (talk) 09:29, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

To answer that, yes, my jimmies remain unrustled. They are all the same! The Coco-Cola and Trilogy versions are the cartoon version. The yellow cheeked is the game version. The one in the Mighty Eagle poster is the Mighty Eagle poster version. I guess they wanted to make her more feminine looking.Gabrieltnz (talk) 07:47, October 11, 2012 (UTC)

LOL! Gabrieltnz, not to rustle your jimmies, I just want to confirm whether there is only one White Bird or many of them.

I didn't know that she was supposed to be a hen. Her Coca-Cola and Trilogy variations make her look more like a peahen wearing blush, though. Thanks for your answer! TheAngryAlly (talk) 09:15, October 14, 2012 (UTC)

We all know white bird is female because her name is Matilda. Would a boy be named Matilda?Uhohspaghhetiohs (talk) 13:03, October 20, 2012 (UTC)Uhohspaghhetiohs

At least we know what the current cartoon version of her looks like. It is weird that she is a female, but they made the Female White Bird, as well as that in Angry Birds Star Wars, she plays C-3PO, who is a male. --Lightening McQueen (talk) 13:32, October 20, 2012 (UTC)

@Uhohspaghhetiohs: I am sorry, your comment is posted in the wrong discussion thread. I was questioning about her breed, not her gender. In the beginning, she was a Snow Bunting, but now she is a Chicken (Hen).

@Lightning McQueen: As you have mentioned, she has taken a male role in Star Wars, which is why I am wondering whether more than one White Bird exists. Matilda and the Female White Bird are the females of the breed, while there may be other male White Birds that look relatively alike to their female counterparts.

As for why they created the Female White Bird, it is possible that she is Matilda's sister or daughter, or even Matilda herself wearing makeup and a pink bow. Since only female birds lay eggs, I suppose that the male White Birds have different powers.TheAngryAlly (talk) 11:00, October 23, 2012 (UTC)

I dont think she's her daughter/sister. That woldn't match the Valentines love theme. I think it IS Matilda in bow. So, maybe the character we are missing is the MALE White Bird:



And about her being 3PO in Star Wars, I don't think 3PO has a REAL gender, due to being a droid, despite being refered to as "he" "him "his." Other than that "his" gender has never been refered to. I.E: "He's" a thing. WIKI (talk) 01:34, October 24, 2012 (UTC)Wikiboy24WIKI (talk) 01:34, October 24, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, yeah. I forgot that the Female White Bird character is present only in the Hogs and Kisses season. Yes, I agree with you about the Female White Bird being Matilda. The male bird in the picture above might be Matilda's boyfriend or husband, and Matilda is dressing up for a romantic date with him.

Female White Bird's size was smaller than Female Red Bird in the pictures, which is why everyone believes that Matilda and the Female White Bird are seperate characters. It might be a design mistake, or it can symbolise that Matilda was young at that time.

Interesting explanation about the droid's gender. As the other birds' genders have never been changed specially for any theme before, your explanation is likely to be correct. C-3PO is likely to be Matilda in gold and with different powers. Thanks, WIKI! Professor Boomerang (talk) 13:46, November 6, 2012 (UTC)

I have found evidence that White Bird is a female. That is from an official Angry Birds Twitter account. This should end all the doubts about her gender. Professor Boomerang (talk) 09:26, November 10, 2012 (UTC)

Inconsitant Size
Like Bubbles, I think her size varies from media to media. In the game she is bigger than Bomb, but in other things, like cutscenes, she is smaller. Her trading card also says she is between the size of a black and red bird. 108.77.222.69 14:01, October 20, 2012 (UTC)Wikiboy24108.77.222.69 14:01, October 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * I suspect that the birds do grow up in Angry Birds Land, except at a slow rate. The Yellow bird was the same size as The Blues in the beginning, but he is now larger than The Blues and Red bird. Professor Boomerang (talk) 14:00, November 6, 2012 (UTC)

C3P0!
You don't think all Wikia Contributors are people who vandalise. I spotted one mistake in your article that White Bird in ABSW is C3P0 not CP30!!

For goodness sake, please edit and also edit Angry Birds Star Wars! People who don't play that game don't know which are the episodes!!

P.S. I'm not trying to humiliate you, I want you to improve your Wiki!

220.255.2.88 07:46, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

And it's C-3PO not C-3P0. See-Threepio, not See-Threepiezero to prove my point. Gabrieltnz (talk) 04:29, November 27, 2012 (UTC)

@IP, please calm yourself, we are working the best we can and I really think you should be a slight bit calmer. We're trying.
