Angry Birds Squawk Competition

The Angry Birds Squawk Competition was a competition that lasted from July 14 to July 31 of 2010 that had participants record themselves making Angry Birds Squawking noises and to upload the video to YouTube for a chance to win a free 32GB 3G iPad with Angry Birds HD preinstalled and for their squawk to be used in the next Angry Birds update.

Note: Many of the news sources said that it was an iPad, however, that was the formal prize and the official blog post and some comments on the remaining submissions said it was an iPod Touch + $100 iTunes gift card, as shown here.

The reason for this competition was due to the Angry Birds game reaching over 5 million downloads on the App Store. The winner was announced on August 6, 2010, who was Alison Eales, a (at the time) 30-year-old university administrator and soon to be music student who lives in the rumbustious city of Glasgow. As stated by Pocketgamer.com, "iPhone 4 is her favourite gaming platform, although she's also partial to Rock Band on PS3." Sadly this audition video is now privated, but it is speculated that her squawk was most likely used for Matilda or saved for Stella. What is known is that her costume and squawk in the video were inspired by "the ferocious seagulls that rip food out of bins near her house by the river Clyde."
