Angry Birds Rio Tips and Trick Work

The Birds

Red Bird

Strength: none

The red bird is your basic bird. It’s the staple of Angry Birds. It doesn’t do anything special, it doesn’t have any great weaknesses or strengths. The best way to use this bird is to cause blocks to tip over and cause a big collapse. I wouldn’t count on this bird being able to smash through very many blocks.

Yellow Bird

Strength: wood

The yellow bird has a special move, when you tap the screen, it’s velocity increases greatly. This allows it to smash through wooden blocks with ease. You can also use it to reach things that are too far away for the other birds. The trick with this bird, like I said, is to use it to smash through wooden blocks. It’s the champ! Sometimes you’ll need to use two or more of them to smash through a single stone block.

Blue Bird

Strength: glass

The blue bird will split into three smaller birds when you tap the screen. This gives you great coverage. It also specializes in smashing through the glass blocks (and snow in the Christmas levels). When you are on a level with blue birds, look at using them to clear out as many of the glass blocks as possible to increase your high score.

White Bird

Strength: hard to reach places

The white bird will drop an egg when you tap the screen that will fall straight down and explode on impact. This is useful when you need to have an explosion at the bottom of a very skinny shaft. The other thing that you need to remember with this bird is that after it drops it’s egg, the bird will shoot off to the right. You can use this to cause additional damage.

Black Bird

Strength: stone

I think this is my favorite bird. It’s just a big bomb. It will explode immediately when you tap the screen, or it will explode several seconds after initial impact with a block. This bird is the best when it comes to stone blocks. Look at launching it at the bottom of stone structures to cause collapses and rack up nice high scores.

Green Bird

Strength: attack from the back

This is probably my least favorite bird. It is like a boomerang and will attempt to return to it’s origin when you tap it. This bird is very hard to control because depending on it’s angle of attack, it will boomerang at different angles and different velocities. Use it when you need to take out the back side of a structure, or to weaken the back of astructure.

BIG Red Bird

Strength: lots of mass

This bird’s only specialty is that it has a lot of mass to smash through a lot of blocks at once. You can cause large collapses with this bird. If you shoot it at a low angle, it will do some bouncing and smash through many blocks with ease.
