In the Angry Birds series, Birds are the main protagonists, which come in a variety of different species. Their main goal is to retrieve the unhatched eggs that their enemies, the Bad Piggies, stole. Since then, the birds care mostly about revenge than anything, and hurl themselves using a Slingshot at the various structures the Pigs constructed. There are 8 playable birds in Angry Birds and Seasons, 10 in Angry Birds Rio, and 6 in Angry Birds Space, with Orange Bird (Atom Bird) coming soon. When a level is completed with unused birds, the player is awarded with 10,000 points for each unused bird.

The Bird's Island is based on an island in the Pacific Ocean.

 * Slingshot (Upgradable to King Sling in Angry Birds Facebook only)
 * Sardines (Summons the Mighty Eagle)
 * Koi Fish (Summons the Mighty Dragon, only appears in the episode Year of the Dragon)

Special Powers
If the screen is touched or clicked while a bird is moving, it will activate a special power or a unusual noise. This is unavailable if the bird has become a corpse.


 * Red Bird - Has no special powers, but says "Caw Caw" or "Gnaah" when you tap or click the screen.
 * Blue Bird - Multiplies into 3, and each clone is bumped slightly up or down. (Strong against ice and glass but weak against other blocks).
 * Yellow Bird - Gains more speed (its always goes at the same certain speed, no matter what speed it was moving at before) and makes a more of a high pitched sound than before. (Strong against wood but weak against ice)
 * Black Bird- Able to explode in mid-air or on impact. (Great at breaking stone)
 * White Bird - Drops an egg which then explodes. The bird itself becomes deflated and is propelled fast upwards and to the right. The body still collides and can be used as a powerful Red Bird.
 * Boomerang Bird - Opens its beak to fly the opposite way than it was heading, maintaining the same speed and vertical direction.
 * Big Brother Bird - Stronger than common birds (automatically says "Gnaa" and shuts eyes when falling down) (Great at breaking any blocks)
 * Orange Bird - Expands to huge size, like a balloon, propelling all block away while in a tight space in either mid-air or on impact. After impact, it deflates.
 * Mighty Eagle - Smashing everything and causes an earthquake, eliminating any pig on the level. (Summoned using Sardines)
 * Mighty Dragon - Smashing everything like the Mighty Eagle, then looping back again. Also eliminating any pig in the path. (Summoned using Red Koi Fish)

Special Powers from Other Apps

 * Blu - Once he hits an object, he'll shake himself up causing spreading of objects.
 * Blu and Jewel - When tapped or clicked, Jewel flies straight dragging Blu along.
 * Ice Bird - Ice Bird freezes an area on impact. Ice Bird explodes a couple of seconds after impact with any piece of structure, and covers the surrounding blocks and pigs with ice making the them brittle and easier to break. If the screen is not tapped, Ice Bird will hesitate for a few seconds, still turning surfaces it touches into ice; making the Ice Bird a technical variation of Bomb.
 * Red Bird (Space) - Same as Red Bird.
 * Blue Birds (Space) - Same as Blue Birds.
 * Lazer Bird - Travels in a straight line unaffected by gravity toward wherever the user taps.
 * Bomb - Same as Black Bird.
 * Terence - Same as Big Brother Bird.
 * Space Eagle - Comes out of a vortex towards the screen destroying all in its path.
 * Atom Bird - Same as Orange Bird.
