Birds

For the application set amongst these species, see Angry Birds







In the Angry Birds series, the Birds are the main protagonists, which come in a variety of different species. Their main goal is to retrieve the unhatched eggs that their Arch-nemesis, the Bad Piggies, stole. Since then the birds care more about revenge than anything, and hurl themselves at the various structures the Pigs constructed. There are 10 playable birds, including the Mighty Eagle and the Mighty Dragon (Year of the Dragon).

The bird's only known allies include the Mighty Eagle, the Mighty Dragon. When a level is completed with unused birds, the player is awarded with 10,000 points for each bird.

The Birds are based on an island in the Pacific Ocean.

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 touched another object, including another bird.

* 		Red Bird - Nothing, but says "Caw Caw" or "Gnaah" when you tap the screen.

* 		Blue Bird - Multiplies into 3, and each clone is bumped slightly up or down. (Great at breaking ice)

* 		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. (Great at breaking wood)

* 		Black Bird (Bomb) - 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 shriveled and is propelled fast upwards and to the right. The body still collides and can be used as a powerful Red Bird.

* 		Boomerang (Green) Bird - Opens its beak to fly the opposite way than it was heading, maintaining the same speed and vertical direction.

* 		Big Brother Bird (Terence) - Nothing (automatically says "Gna" and shuts eyes when falling down) (Great at breaking anything (but ground))

* 		Orange Bird - Expands to huge size, like a balloon, 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.

* 		Mighty Dragon - Smashing everything like the Mighty Eagle, then looping back again. Also eliminating any pig in the path

Birds from Other Apps' Powers

* 		Blu and Jewel - When tapped or clicked, Jewel flies straight dragging Blu along.

* 		Blu - Once he hits an object, he'll shake himself up causing spreading of objects.

* 		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 piggies 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.



Trivia
*		On the main menu of the original game, when the player touches any of the flying birds, (not including the ones far off into the background), that bird will make its signature noise. (This works only on the normal game)
