Red Mad is a character in the Angry Birds series of games created by Rovio Entertainment. First introduced in 2009, the character is the primary bird used in marketing to promote the series.

The first bird used in the game, he 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, Red Mad appears dressed as a ninja. This was the first time he has appeared in costume in any game and completely new game sprites were created for this episode.

Ability
Starting with Poached Eggs, Red Mad will be able to cause great damage to the weaker structures, but as the player advances through the levels and episodes, they soon discover that Red Mad doesn't have much strength compared to the other birds, and can usually only shatter about one long wood or glass block per turn.

Red Mad is useful through all levels, as he can be used to finish off areas that have been weakened by other birds.

Red Mad doesn't have a special ability. When tapped or clicked, it will produce "Ca-Caw!" or " Gnaah !" cry, as with Big Brother Bird.

History
Little is known about Red Mad’s history before the events of the first Angry Birds game. It is known that he went through a baby (1993-1998), negative (1999-2002), rebellious periods (2003-2008) in his youth and for now (2009).



Once the King Pig decided to steal eggs from the Birds on their island, Red Mad has been at the forefront of the war between the Angry Birds and the Bad Piggies. Red Mad, Yellow Bird, one Blue Bird and Bomb were the first to discover the first eggs missing after severely attacking an insect for landing on their eggs. He is considered the leader of the Flock, though he displays no exceptional powers as the others do.

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 Red Mad. 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. Main article: Angry Birds Rio

In addition to Rio, Red Mad has also traveled to China twice and Japan, where he dressed as a ninja.

During the Wreck the Halls adventure, Red Mad and Bomb took the lead in chasing the Pigs through the snow on skis. Main article: Wreck The Halls Short Movie

In one conflict, the Bad Piggies stole a girl egg. When the flock retrieved her, Red Mad was seen in the company of a female counterpart watching over the eggs. From the picture taken, it would appear that this is his mate and the Boy and Girl eggs are his offspring. Main article: Hogs and Kisses

In another adventure, Red Mad and the Flock were whisked into Space via a wormhole, gained special abilites as a result of the wormhole energy, and fought the Space King and the Space Pigs in order to regain their stolen eggs. Main article: Angry Birds Space
