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: Chuck or Al unlocked

How to: Fire Chuck or Al 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, Chuck will have his "speeding" sprite replacing its Corpse sprite, and Al will have his mouth wide open as if he'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 Matilda corpse glitch can be performed. Perform the Corpse Glitch with Al, but use Matilda as the secondary bird. If done correctly, Matilda should have a face with closed eyes and a tight beak, as if she's flying in the air before shooting the egg bomb.

White Bird Glitch
Prerequisites: Matilda unlocked

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

Blue Birds Glitch
Prerequisites: The Blues unlocked

How to: Spilt The Blue Bird in any game (this includes free versions). Only the Bird that was originally fired from the Slingshot will be corpsed immediately. The others will not be corpsed at all.

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.

The levels in which the Slingshot glitch can be performed are:
 * Theme 6-3

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.

Restart Glitch (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 Matilda to have two corpses, making buttons to press instead of scrolling, etc., somehow this glitch came in to all areas updated.

Blank Screen Glitch (Impossible to be maked in PC and Mac versions)
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 Day 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.

Bubbles 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 Bubbles there, and when he expands, he will disappear. In Smugglers' Plane, shoot Al there to destroy the front of it, so Bubbles 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 Red will turn invisible. But most of the time Red will be visible.

Bomb glitch
Go to surf and turf level 1-9 and fire Bomb at a piece of ground. When Bomb hits the ground, he will go from brown to his flying sprite then red then explode.

Big Brother glitch
Go to Angry Birds 14-2 (Ham'em High) or 20-12 (Bad Piggies). For 14-2: Fire the first big brother bird and hit it on the black bird. Then, use the black bird to hit the next big brother bird. Then, launch the big brother bird anywhere and it will sound like black bird. For 20-12: (Not avabible for Mac) use the big brother to hit yellow for ipad/iphone or green for android/pc/samsung, instead of big brother's pain noise, either yellow or green's pain noises will come out instead

Piglantis glitch.
Got to level 2-1 (Piglantis). Waste Bubbles and Bomb. Fire the first Chuck into the water. Then wait a few seconds and the bird will go to its corpse without toucing anything underwater.

Pink Bird glitch
1. Go to Back to School level 1-5. Throw the first pink bird at the apple in front of the stucture and use her ability once you get near it. Throw the second pink bird at the apple while using the ability, With a little luck, she will spin inside her bubble

2. Do the same thing again but go lower. With a little luck, she might use her ability but wont be in her bubble for a second

Summer Pignic glitch
If you 3 starred Summer Pignic you`re able to do this.Go to the Golden Basket. First throw the first bomb bird to the lower part of the fruit pile. Second, throw the next bomb bird into the little strip of fruit on the bottom. Wait a little bit and then the rest of the fruit will wiggle and go away. This can get you insanely high scores.

Smugglers Plane Glitch
Go to 12-3 in Angry Birds Rio and fire your Bubbles high, as soon as you launch press the Eagle Eye Button, fire the Sardines and wait. The Sardines will change into the inflated Bubbles sprite, the Mighty Eagle won't come.

Second-Bird Glitch
Only in online version! When you start a level and the screen scrolls to the birds, grab a bird before the scrolling ends. With a bit of luck the Strech-the-Slingshot-Image and the Non-strech-Image will be at the same time at the same spot.
