Chuck

"I'm so fast!"

 Fast and Furious! 

Chuck, the Yellow Bird is the deuteragonist in the Angry Birds series of games created by Rovio Entertainment. He was first introduced in 2009 with the original launch of the game. He is a yellow canary.

Ability
Chuck has the ability to speed up when the screen is tapped. His game speed is much slower than his toons speed, as Chuck can move regular speed when time is slowed down almost completely. (see Chuck Time)so fast ,he is can stop the time any where

Chuck can destroy wood very well, can shatter some glass, but cannot destroy stone. This is likely because Rovio made 3 characters to only be able to easily destroy 1 material: Bomb (stone) Chuck (wood) Blues (Glass).

In the movie, Chuck is using his speed up ability after being slingshot and it was much faster than both his game and toons counterpart and he hits the part of Leonard's castle up until the stone wall but he got severely injured when he bumped so many obstacles such as reaching through the rings of fire as well as being hurt from a many cactus plants and throwing swords at him. He has also gotten hurt by attempting to go fast and accidentally lodging himself in a cannon held by Bomb.

Appearance
Unlike the other birds, he is cone shaped, with a mop of black head feathers and red eyebrows. However, in the early cutscenes, he was the size of The Blues and had top feathers like Red. In his earlier cartoon version, Chuck appears as a large cone shaped bird and the mop black head feathers are large similar to a mohawk, his beak is also large and has large black feathers on his back.

In Angry Birds Toons until Angry Birds 2, Chuck's appearance remains the same as the mop of black head feathers are now four instead of three on top of his head and the black feathers on his back are the same size as the mop of black feathers on his head.

In his film design, Chuck appears as a yellow anthropomorphic Canary in a slim build with yellow arms, unlike the other birds, as he is shaped like a banana instead of a cone. His chest is light yellow instead of white, the mop of black head feathers are long, the design of his beak is curly large and his black feathers at the back are longer and gains another black feather at the back and has orange feet.

He always wanted to be the best of the Flock, and is one of the most restless Birds in the Flock. In the opening scenes of Poached Eggs and Mighty Hoax, while The Flock examines the empty nest with question marks above their heads, Chuck exclaims a "#" sign after realizing that the Bad Piggies stole their eggs.

He is the best friend and confidant of Red.

Description
Chuck's description from an old Angry Birds Official Website

Chuck likes to do everything at 100 miles-per-hour. Why do things slowly and properly when you can do them quickly and carelessly? So he does the dishes in half the time, but with only half the dishes unbroken! And sleep? That just gets in the way of doing stuff. Each night he falls asleep accidentally after tiring himself out too much. I’m not tired…I’m not tired…ZZZZZZZZZZZ.

''Ok, it’s time to speed things up! Chuck’s special power is a '' lightning-fast aerial assault that lets him dart toward the pigs at incredible speed! It’s pretty awesome to see him in action as he soars through the skies and smashes through the piggy defenses. Watch out you little green creatures – this incoming missile attack is super-accurate and crazy-fast!

Chuck has 100s of random thoughts a minute, making it hard for him to focus on a single thing. One moment he’s 100% committed to a group activity, and the next he’s off on his own adventure completely forgetting what he just agreed to! He gets bored really easily, so every day it’s a new hobby: surfing, painting, karate, origami and many more. Just pick one and stick with it, bird!

This is the ultimate bird poser who loves spending time admiring his feathers in the mirror. He’s such a show-off who likes to think the “duck face” internet meme was named after him! Chuck seems confident, but inside there’s also a frightened little birdie who’s scared of many things. Not exactly the image he wants of an extra tough and fearless action hero ready to take on the world!

Chuck's description was updated into the movie version.

NO FILTER

''Chuck is constantly running at 100mph, and that includes his mouth as well. His impulsive nature and endless commentary gets him into trouble often. Luckily, he's fast enough to get out of trouble quickly.''

In the movie, he retains the same eccentric personality, has a similar voice to that of the toons, and is still crazy. He also is shown to sometimes get his way in a similar fashion to "Gate Crasher," and is also shown when he screams "I WASN'T READY!" shortly after being launched toward the pig castle. He is in Matilda's anger management class. He has committed several transgressions, including, but not limited to:
 * Several speeding tickets.
 * Destroying a police office after receiving a speeding ticket.
 * Dripping a white substance on a police bird's wing (later shown to be ice cream, although he sheepishly admits that it might not be.)
 * Dashing off while said police bird was writing something down in his book.

Red
Red is known to be Chuck's best friend in several different media, and this is shown in the toons episode Chuck Time where Chuck saves Red. This is also shown in the comic Angry Birds Christmas Comic, where Red saves Chuck.

Bomb
Chuck is often jealous of Bomb, and it is shown in the toons episode The Bird Who Cried Pig where Chuck tries to outstand Bomb by pretending to save the eggs. But nevertheless, they are shown to be friends on many separate occasions. He, Bomb, and Red are often seen together in teasers, toons, merchandise, games, and more.

Matilda
Chuck took advantage of Matilda in the episode Slow The Chuck Down! and Photochucked. In Slow The Chuck Down! Matilda was upset to see her garden was destroyed by Chuck. She took away Chuck's racing helmet. In Photochucked, Matilda went into frustration when Chuck "photobomb" Matilda when trying to take a picture of her favorite flowers.

History
In an episode of Angry Birds Toons, he once saved Red from a great height. He transformed somehow, making him have an ultra speed boost.

His original look, showing two top feathers and dark eyebrows, was similar to Red (and again exclaiming “#”) and was much smaller in size. This was later changed to his final look with a mop of black hair-like feathers on the top of his head.

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 Chuck. 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.

Strategy

 * Chuck is very strong on wood, making him a good bird to use on it. However, he can't destroy square blocks that well and can only shatter one square block.
 * He can't do much damage to Glass. He can only destroy one glass block at the same time.
 * Chuck's aiming angle is different from other birds. When Chuck is first launched from the slingshot, he flies at an angle like most birds. However, when his rush ability is activated, he will shoot straight at the target.

Bumblebee
Being zapped by the EggSpark transformed more than just Chuck's body. He used to be ultra-competitive and desperately striving to prove his skills, but now he prefers to help others show their own powers.

Naturally this change has confused the other Autobirds - they're just waiting for him to suddenly snap and do something crazy! Wait for it... Aaaany minute now...

As one of the smallest, scout Autobirds, Bumblebee often finds himself in trouble. He tries his best, but for some reason that he can't figure out, his habit of acting without thinking often gets him into tricky situations.

But don't worry - his bravery, smarts and speed haven't let him down yet! Also, what's life without a little adventure? Amiright? Let's go!

Bumblebee's weapon is rapid firing but low damage, making it great at taking out wooden tower blocks, but poor at tougher enemies and stone blocks. Best to transform and use his extreme speed to outrun bigger threats. Zoom!

He's also great against flying and falling pigs, and at shooting down incoming missiles.

Warning: Variant characters are for expert players! If they complete an Event they earn loads of bonus Coins, but if they fail they get... nothing. Ouch!

Kanan Jarrus
Kanan Jarrus is portrayed again by Chuck. He's a purchasable character on the update of Rebels. His power is like Chuck in the original game, but it is more powerful, and has more speed.

Freddie Mercury
Freddie Mercury is a Yellow Bird who appears in the Angry Birds animation "Freddie For a Day", which commemorates Freddie Mercury's birthday on September 5th, 1946. He looks similar to Chuck but has a crown, mustache, smaller eyes, and wears a shirt. He is styled after the rocker Freddie Mercury.

In the "Freddie For a Day" video, Freddie Mercury is seen riding on a bicycle with Red and the Blues. The music played in the video is Queen's song, Bicycle Race.

While riding on the bicycle, he is stopped by the King Pig, who is unamused that Freddie Mercury's crown is more decorated than his. The King Pig's crown wilts in disappointment. The video ends with Freddie Mercury flashing his teeth and crown, and moving on.

Freddie Mercury also makes a cameo appearance in the advertisement for Angry Birds Friends that was on the original page for Angry Birds Star Wars Facebook.

Ayrton Senna
Ayrton Senna (or Senna Bird) is a playable bird exclusive to Angry Birds Go! based on the late Brazilian three-times Formula One champion of the same name. He functions the same way as Chuck in Angry Birds Go!, and has the same power as him in that game. Senna can wear his iconic yellow-and-green helmet if you win 41 races while playing as him.

Trivia

 * Ayrton Senna is the sixth bird to be based on a real person, the first three being the Developer Birds (based on Peter Vesterbacka, Jaako Iisalo and Serdar Soganci), Freddie Mercury being the fourth and Slash being the fifth.
 * Senna is the second bird to have his character modeled on Chuck, the first being Freddie Mercury. They are also the only birds made in tribute to deceased people (Freddie died in 1991 and Senna died in 1994).
 * The reason why you have to win 41 races as Senna to get his helmet is because this is the same number of victories the real Ayrton Senna had during his Formula One career.
 * If you have a helmet version of it then the NPC will be a clone but without a helmet.This also happens if you have another racer.

Gameplay
He first appeared in the 16th level of the first episode, Poached Eggs and has appeared as a playable character in every version and episode of the game (except The Big Setup) released so far, though he is not necessarily in all levels. In the Fuji TV exclusive episode: Sakura Ninja, Chuck appears dressed as a samurai. This was the first time he has appeared in costume in any game and completely new game sprites were created for this episode.

To activate the Chuck's speed rush ability, a player must launch him into the air, then tap the screen or click the mouse to activate the speed boost. The most effective attacks with Chuck are to launch him upward and let him arc down onto a target, or to fling in a straight line horizontally at a target.

Chuck's rush ability allows him to pick up speed to cause the most possible damage to the Pigs and their fortresses. Much like many of the other birds, his strength usually varies depending on the block and angle that is struck. Chuck is most effective against wood obstacles, able to penetrate several walls easily due to his speed. However, he is weak against glass/ice despite it having a much weaker strength than wood.

Trivia

 * When he turns into a corpse, Chuck rolls like a ball, even though his body is a cone.
 * Hal makes the same pain noises when becoming a corpse as Chuck.
 * Chuck's top feathers appear like Red's feathers in some earlier cutscenes. This was later changed to his in-game black mop-top design.Chuck_Compare.png
 * In the early cutscenes before the Birdday update of Angry Birds, Chuck was the same size as the Blues,but was soon changed to his now bigger size.
 * In cutscenes, Chuck seems to always be the one to notice the Pigs running away with the eggs, except The Big Setup.
 * Chuck owns a music player, as shown in the Angry Birds Toons episode "Off Duty".
 * In Chuck Time, when Chuck sees Red falling off a cliff, he perceives it as slow-motion. Chuck's perception of time becomes slower than everyone else when he puts on the headband, explaining why he is able to act more quickly than other birds.
 * Chuck has astraphobia, a great fear of thunder, shown in Thunder Chuck.
 * He is the "Peacock of The Flock",as announced in an old Angry Birds website.
 * Chuck is jealous of Terence, but mostly scared of him.
 * Being that he is the fastest playable bird, along with a name like Chuck, his name is a possible reference to famous Action movie star, Chuck Norris.
 * In Inanimate Insanity Episode 4, he appears demonstrating the slingshot in the challenge.
 * One of his costumes resembles Pikachu from the Pokémon series.
 * As revealed in the Angry Birds 2 website, Chuck can run up to 100 mph, and sometimes faster.
 * In The Angry Birds Movie, Chuck is shown to be left-handed. This can be proven by various things he does with his left hand such as painting with it, raising it, and more. This can also be proven in the AMC promotion and the Regal Crown Club promotion, where he holds the cards and other items with his left hand.
 * According to the Angry Birds fans, Chuck in The Angry Birds Movie is greatly similar to Duck from the PBS Kids television show Word World as both are yellow and have their beaks and legs the same orange color.
 * Throughout Season 1 of Angry Birds Toons, Chuck's feathers turn from normal yellow to pale yellow.
