Welcome to our walkthrough for Bird Island Level 5. This is a high scoring level, and the video below piles up a whopping 208150 points!
We start by sending Blue in a high arc to the middle and destroy as much of the ice/glass as possible. Then send Bomb Bird under the central structure, off of the bouncy pad and into the lower left stone structure. Follow with OB on a slightly lower patch, allowing the bound to take you to the upper right, causing massive destruction there. Finally, send a Bomb Bird straight ahead into the last remaining structure smashing the final pigs and taking out as much stone as possible. Completion with four birds leaves two for a 20K bonus!
Feel free to leave comments below, but don’t just post your scores – that’s what the leaderboards are for.
184,360 is 2*
185,730 is 3*
@admins
@steely59 thanks
216830/4 as in video, with two minor modifications: 1st activating late between leftmost two small stone pieces to take out the glass structure completely. 4th, activating a bit higher and on impact, to make the tower fall right in its entirety, to take out debris lying around there. got the 216k score after having 139k after the 3rd, and got it after only a few attempts so/and i think (also from looking at the remaining debris) that getting 220k should not be difficult.
Okay, this is embarrassing getting a measly 40 points better. Not sure exactly what happened as I had a normal 66K after bird 2. Bird 3 completely wiped out the right structure for 143K. There’s certainly room for 5K more with really good damage after the first two.
Got it. It happened again and I caught it this time. Balloon bird swooped down and left scouring the bottom platform. 214K the second time. I suggest aiming bird 3 lower on the far right structure and blowing a bit early to increase the odds of it going the right direction. You may leave an extra piece or two on the far right but the damage at the bottom will more than make up for it.
indeed, that’s what happened for each of my 215k+ scores thus far, the 3rd cleaning the right side of the lower platform upon deflation; not that frequent, but playable, say 1 in 15. was playing for 25k+ after the first (1 in 3; launched by letting bird touch plant/tree in background), launching 2nd (for 65k+; 1 in 3) and 3rd with top feather extending a bit above leaf/branch in background, the 3rd hitting the trampoline a bit more to the left than the 2nd, and 4th with some daylight in the sling, to the middle of the tower, say the lower-left corner of the pig in the hollow stone, activating upon impact; hope lower stones on platform are dragged along. for the 219k score, had 135k after the 3rd with one pig in hollow stone still alive, so not very high, but the tower falling down then took out almost all debris lying around below, including that pig.
Ty To mock a mockingbird (@vuelva) and very sorry about the sheriff! I did not set out to prove that a 220k was actually possible but ended up doing just that. Half a dozen bits&pieces still left so you could send the sheriff back at my door, just not necessarily immediately, please ;-)
This has been a funny level, it became progressively easier. I really struggled to get above average, then with your strat struggled more to put couple more k between myself and average until got 214k. And then suddenly soon after that found myself in possession of lovely 142k after 3 shots and to my surprise didn’t mess up the 4th either. Almost as if I had known what I was doing :D
@vuelva Thank you for the strategy. Worked as you described and improved the score from 191k to 214k. Got the score above average which is great.
Another approach:
1) just like video;
2) destroy upper stone house, like 4th shot in video;
3) lob toward the far wooden house. You can’t reach the house itself. Instead, activate balloon effect just as bird hits the wall below the ledge. Wood house will slowly collapse left. Balloon bird will whip around the valley, hopefully destroying leftover glass and weakening the lower stone house. At least a couple times, the balloon whipped across the plateau where the wooden house used to be.
4) high lob onto whatever remains of the lower stone house.
215870 and 217710 using this strategy.
@samsonkj – agree totally, much easier to send orange bird high not using the pink bouncey thing. Went back and forth on the second shot – I think for my high score I used the video’s second shot.
217140/4. @vuelva wrote the script for this one and did a fine job. I will add a few notes here to refine his description.
The object for the first bird is to destroy as much of the glass structure as possible. If you can get the flower down in the cave for an extra 1K, all the better. The glass on the left side helps support the structure to its left and the glass on the right is hard to get with subsequent shots using this strat. 20K is a good score, 25K is a great score. I was never able to consistently get high scores with this shot.
The second and third shots are aimed pretty much the same. Imagine the location of the hour hand on a clock when it is 9:10 or 9:15. You want the sling and the bird in the location of that hour hand when you launch.
The best shot with the second bird is to bounce it and then hit the stones above the piggie in the stone square and then have the bird settle on that stone square before detonating. This usually kills all the pigs on that level. I generally reset if I didn’t get 60K. Sometimes if the leftmost piggie was left I would shoot with 55K or higher since that piggie can usually be killed with subsequent shots.
The third shot usually worked best when it went into the second level of the right side structure. I found that expanding early generally did not help, as it left too much debris behind on the platform. Better to let it detonate on its own and hope that the deflating bird takes out the debris below. I generally reset if I did not have 130K at this point. I have had as high as 147K, but I blew the next shot and would have had over 218K if I did it right. Grrr!
The fourth bird was really frustrating for me. The object was to clear the platform, of course, but I never found a shot that consistently did so. The best shot overall looks to be going in below the piggie in the stone block and hope it settles down into the middle bottom of the structure before detonating.
That’s it, hope it helps. I think 220K is doable with this strat. Thanks @vuelva!
Thus I appear to be the target in challenge today. Don´t know yet if I shall have a go, but wish the best of luck to everybody attempting to ruffle my feathers!
I doubt anyone is going to beat it but you never know. I’ve had a few tries and the best I could manage was 210k. I even made a video but thankfully didn’t post it as I then saw it was exactly the same as the walkthrough! I guess Orange has to deflate along the bottom to get a good score.
4 birds much like the walkthrough.
1st into the glass, although I didn’t have a very impressive result.
2nd to bounce into the structure a bit lower, into the hollow block-with-a-pig at the bottom left, detonating just after impact. This took care of most of the remaining glass.
3rd I got lucky with OB sweeping the bottom for extra points. This needs to happen for a higher score.
4th a bit lower, around where the hollow block sits on the thick vertical stone & detonated on impact.
Video of 219k –

I just scored 222,610 points by using the same 4 shots almost exactly as in the @karen68 video.
The only way I can account for my score is that all 3 platforms were nearly cleaned off.
The third platform was almost completely cleared, while OB did a good job on the lower middle platform.
I got a screenshot of the destruction & leftover debris after the 4th bird. It shows exactly where I aimed. I let the bird settle for a moment before detonating. The screenshot also shows the score I had before my Puppy-earning score.

Good luck & happy flinging to all !!!
221030 with four bird.
Same strategy as in the video. However the clincher was @karen68 fourth bird. So thanks a lot for the trajectory and detonation a tad after contact.
This is the final result for the Daily Challenge.
And the highscore screenshot.
All the screenshots are also available in high res here in one set.
@sweetp
Now had 212k but that’s it. Your record is probably safe from me 😀
