For the female counterpart, see Female White Bird

White Bird is a character that looks like a egg and is in the Angry Birds series of games created by Rovio Entertainment. First introduced in 2009, the character is one of the original five birds in the Flock. He is the only bird with two corpses.

He first appeared in level 2-14 of the first episode, Poached Eggs and has appeared as a playable character in every version and episode of the game released so far, though he is not necessarily in all levels. In the Fuji TV exclusive episode: Sakura Ninja, White Bird appears dressed as a geisha. This was the first time he has appeared in costume in any game and completely new game sprites were created for this episode.

Ability
Despite being one of the largest of the birds, White Bird is weak in physical strength, The egg bombs he deploys have decent power but suffer from a short blast radius and tend to be overestimated in their effect on the structure. Once the egg is dropped, the corpse then flies up and explodes to the right. Additional damage can be done to the fortresses if the egg is dropped in such a way that it launches the corpse into the structure.

Personal Data

 * Name: White Bird
 * Known Aliases: Mystery Bird
 * Fan Aliases: Egg Beater, Chicken Bird, Egg Bird, Egg Bomber, Bomber Bird
 * Group Affiliation: The Flock
 * Known Relatives: Female White Bird (possible mate)
 * Brother: Black Bird

Personality
White Bird was as responsible as the Red Bird but not as stressed as him. Despite being a male (since the appearance of the female version), White Bird has the essense of a mother. He's very caring, espeacially towards the Blue Birds as the young ones always got into trouble.

While he does appear to lay eggs, the eggs explode, indicating that White Bird is a male and using armament rather than naturally produced eggs. He has been seen in the presence of another female White Bird during the St. Valentine's Day holiday but his full connection with this bird is unknown.

History
Little is known about White Bird’s history before the events of the first Angry Birds game or how he acquired the ability or skills to drop explosive eggs.

In the course of the battles with the Pigs, he has traveled to many different locations and environments, including the desert, underground caves and beaches. The Pigs never rest in their quest to steal eggs and the Flock often has to retrieve their eggs on holidays and special occasions. In one instance, the Pigs captured the entire Flock, including White Bird. It was only for the actions of Terence, the Big Brother Bird that the Flock was freed.

At an indeterminate time later, the Flock was captured as rare birds and taken to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where they fought with Blu and Jewel and their friends against Nigel the cockatoo and Mauro and his marmosets. Bomb and White Bird did not appear originally in Rio, but arrived shortly after the others, so it is possible they were not captured originally and made their way to Rio to find Red Bird, Yellow Bird and The Blues.

In addition to Rio, White Bird has also traveled to China twice and Japan, where he wore a geisha costume.

In another adventure, many of the Flock were whisked into Space via a wormhole, gained super powers and fought the Space King and the Space Pigs. White Bird appears to be left behind.

Trivia

 * The White Bird's physical appearance seems to be based on an egg shape.
 * In the Angry Birds Coca-Cola Short HE has noticable eyelashes although he is a male.
 * White Birds and (techinally) Orange Birds are the only birds to have two different corpses.
 * White Bird is the second largest playable bird in the game, next to Big Red Bird.
 * White Birds are also the only birds to have projectiles.
 * Birds and corpses are impervious to eggs. If the player drops an egg on a corpse or a bird waiting their turn on the slingshot, the egg will bounce off.
 * The White bird is possibly based upon the Snow Bunting or a Chicken.
 * Originally, the White Bird had a nervous expression. However, he was redesigned to appear angrier.
 * The White Bird, as well as the Boomerang Bird, Orange Bird, and some pigs are the only Plush Toys with openable beaks.
 * In the Summer Pignic Animated Short when the White Bird is on the slingshot, the Boomerang Bird accidentally trips and knocks over the slingshot causing the White Bird to fling in a different direction. But strangely when he reaches the ground, instead of releasing his explosive egg like he does in every other game he stars in, he explodes right on the spot thus, leaving a small but noticeable crater.
 * In the Mighty Eagle poster, the White Bird is a chicken. This is matched by the fact that chickens are known to lay eggs.
 * Out of the five original members of the Flock, White Bird is featured the least often.
 * Originally, one of White's cheeks became purple when he became a corpse (to look like a black eye). However, it was redesigned to look normal yellow.
 * The White Bird is also the only original flock member that doesn't have a role in Angry Birds Space.
 * White Bird can make Boomerang Bird's launch noises in Angry Birds Facebook.
