Talk:Space Characters

I asked Rovio personally if it is "Lazer" or "Laser". They said they are sticking with the 'z'. I'm a little disappointed actually that they will stick with an incorrect spelling, but so be it. AMslimfordy 17:38, March 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * I feel the exact same way.  ♥   1n4m@t10n   ★  341919_photo.gif 15:12, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * I like it. It has a quirkly feel to it like most things bird-related. DoctorOmega 15:25, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree that it should be with an Laser Bird instead of Lazer Bird. Angrybirdarmy 9:42 March 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wow! I never knew that "laser" is spelled like that. He he

Official Names

The OFFICIAL names from the guide, as approved by Rovio are:

and

Please don't change these until/unless new information is released that contradicts this.

Thanks! DoctorOmega 08:41, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

New issue on official names - Helmet Pig vs. Major Pig. Seems that the iPad version of the Daily's guide is different than the iPhone version. Slim's says "Major," mine says "Helmet" DoctorOmega 15:25, March 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes that is true but in one of the video of The Daily's Guide the names are: Super Red Bird, Lazer Bird, Lightning Bird, Monster Bird, Fire Bomb Bird, Ice Bomb Bird
 * Yes, there is some discrepancy. But the videos are shot long before the final project is compiled. It is best to believe that the names Dr. Omega listed are correct. AMslimfordy 14:27, March 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * There are many things about that video that differ from the actual app. Laytout/Format, names, etc. I saw one mention of a space 360 degree image that I didn't see in the app. They did say updates to it will be coming, but the names look to be the final, official names.
 * [[File:Helmet.PNG]]
 * Oh that's interesting. Yes, I'm on iPad and it says "Major". Oh well, I don't really care much. How about an "aka" in there? Simple solution. AMslimfordy 19:25, March 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, not a high priority, but aka was what I was thinking..DoctorOmega 19:38, March 15, 2012 (UTC)

Powerbomb Bird Text...
Whoever edited that Powerbomb bird's text into a scroll box, please don't do it again... Stockcarboy100 02:40, March 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Please note the above section. The bird names are pretty well established, and the "Black Bird" is called "Bomb", not "Powerbomb Bird" based on the latest official references. AMslimfordy 03:02, March 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, as to the scroll box. These are typically done accidentally. In this case, it arose from the line"" Powerbomb Bird... ,}}whereas the line ""Powerbomb Bird... }}would remove it. The only difference is the space between the braces and text, but it results in the scroll box nonetheless. AMslimfordy 03:14, March 15, 2012 (UTC)

Bird Species -- Official?
Slim's last edit was regarding Yellow Bird being a Canary. Has there ever been an official source to list what the species were? Or are we guessing until the Nat Geo book comes out in September?DoctorOmega 19:00, March 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think so, but it's a fair assumption for the time being. AMslimfordy 19:25, March 15, 2012 (UTC)

I saw on the red bird introduction that his name is Red Space Bird are you going to change it?
 * I didn't see it called "Red Space Bird". I just saw "Red Bird". AMslimfordy 19:01, March 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * They said on their facebook page "Introducing the red space bird"
 * Yes, but the video title, video description, and Twitter all call it simply "Red Bird". 3-vs-1. AMslimfordy 23:13, March 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * I still prefer simply "Red" from the Daily's guide DoctorOmega 00:12, March 17, 2012 (UTC)
