Birds

Red Bird:

This is the basic Angry Bird. It fires straight, and is relatively weak against most obstacles. Still, you can use it to take out any remaining pigs and knock down lighter structures. It's the famous bird that is often the figurehead for the Angry Birds franchise.

Blue Bird:

The Blue Bird is actually a trio of birds. In game, they launch as one bird and split into three in middair upon a click. The Blue Bird is very effective against glass/ice, but weak against stone. They are good for blanketing an area and destroying a group of pigs or obstacles when aiming precisely is difficult. Note that you can also split the group just before an object to deal much greater damage over a much smaller area.

Yellow Bird:

Yellow Birds have a special rush ability. This basically means they increase in speed when you click after take-off. The Yellow Bird basically continues in a straight line from wherever it is when you click. This means that you can get some serious speed before hitting a target, and thus deal the greatest amount of damage possible. Because of this speed, Yellow Birds are very effective against layers of wood. They are weak against stone and ineffective against ice, however.

Black Bird:

Black Bird, also know as Bomb, does what the latter name suggests. Basically, once Black Bird hits an object, he will glow red and soon explode. You can also trigger this explosion before it happens naturally by clicking the screen. It is possible to use the Black Bird either to blow up pigs and objects, or merely to move them to positions that are more tactically convenient. Black Bird is stronger than most other Birds, being able to penetrate stone structures if you aim straight at them. Remember, however, that once you hit an object, the detination action will occur.

White Bird:

This bird lays eggs when you click. These eggs will then explode, either upon impact, or when you click. White Bird itself is actually fairly weak, and its eggs lack the oomph of the Black Bird's explosion. Remember that you can use the eggs to propel the White Bird itself further up into the air, changing its trajectory or aiming for hard-to-reach structures.

Boomerang Bird:

As the name suggests, the Boomerang Bird's key feature is its ability to swerve in middair, coming back towards the slingshot that it was launched from. As soon as you click the screen, you activate the Boomerang Bird's special ability. This means you can fire the Bird over obstacles and then, while it is on its way down, activate the Boomerang and bring it through caverns, tunnels and under other obstacles to reach some otherwise difficult pigs. There are some areas where the Boomerang Bird is the only Bird capable of landing an attack. In terms of materials, the Boomerang Bird is effective against WOod and Glass/Ice, but not against Stone.

Mighty Eagle:

The Mighty Eagle has to be purchased and can then be used one time. It is the strongest of all the Birds, and is effectively a free pass for that particular level.

Big Brother Bird:

The attack of the Big Brother Bird, or Terrence, is basically the same as that of the Red Bird, except much more devastating and powerful. It is able to penetrate through a block of stone, as well as all other obstacles.
