Welcome to our walkthrough for Bird Island Level 8. We were able to clear the level with two birds for 140230 using the strategy below.
Send the first Bomb Bird in a medium arc to the horizontal stone support slab in the second structure WITHOUT activation his power. With luck (as always), the tower will fall and BB will drop to the left, taking out the tower and piggie below. Next, send the second Bomb a little higher and activate as he hits the lower remaining tower, sending debris up and right to take out the final lower pig and hopefully drop the upper tower. If all pigs are deceased, this leaves you with a 10K bonus.
Feel free to leave comments below, but don’t just post your scores – that’s what the leaderboards are for.
I also used a 2 shot strategy, but with my first shot I exploded BB in mid air half way between the top of the first stack and the bottom of the second so the second stack falls to the right and (occasionally) takes out the third (high up) stack. 2nd bird to clear up.
158k with 2 birds.
The first bird goes in a high arc against the upper left stone plank of the upper left tower. The trick is to activate just before the bomb bird falls onto the wooden plank, in such a way that debris destroys the wooden triangle under the upper tower. I got lucky here and the cascase destroyed the bottom left tower too as well as the pigs, but usually I clean that up with the last bird.
Next, fire the second black bird just like the walkthrough’s second shot. I imagine we’ll see 160k soon because the destruction on the right wasn’t optimal.
Also, the upper left tower falls over on its own if you wait a minute. Doesn’t help.
Can’t get it with 2 birds, but improved greatly. Thanks for the tip about the top tower. Works great. Thanks for sharing
Well @angrychicken thanks for this start, best I’ve done so far but still below average, I just can’t figure how to get that to middle tower to fall! guess I’ll settle for now.. perhaps the level has changed over the years.
151/3 using this method. I seem to always end up with pigs to the left and pigs to the right, requiring the use of both remaining bombs.
124,920 is 2*
125,380 is 3*
@admins
@steely59 thanks
170k
one bird. here is the photo
Congrats to your great score! First I was a bit skeptical when I tried to replicate the shot following the trajectory in your photo. It took some time until I realized that the activation point was not where the dots end…
So you must have grazed the top of he fist tower and activated somewhere before the base of 2nd tower. I tried that and got a nice score, although a second bird for tower 4 and 5 was necessary. I think your strategy is the way to go.
the point where i exploded the bomb bird as same as you said. around under-left corner in the air. second tower leaned right totally and get the rest of it. it was lucky shot, indeed :)
176450/1. No secret here, it’s the same strat with more luck. OK, a LOT more luck. Took thousands of flings to get there, but things finally fell my way.
@jrsquonk I need help here :( I can’t even get 3 stars, Are you and @genkik saying this is a one birdie? I’m trying to go by genkik screenshot and activate bomb in the air to at the bottom left of top right tower? is that right?
I know it’s been a long time but if you guys are still around please help?
@steviep147 any suggestions? sorry to keep bugging you..
okay So the Power of the Post got me 3 stars! but still far below average 😔
I just can’t figure out How your getting that topmost Middle tower to collapse @genkik ? You must have had some self collapse as I’ve experienced several times, but not with that top middle tower
@jrsquonk
@kathy Yeah, it’s been a long time. Can’t offer much beyond my comments until I get back into it. I’m stuck over in Jurassic Park now.
@jrsquonk That’s ok, i figured as much, I’ll just keep Flingin’ lol! Good luck in Jurassic, I’ll be getting there soon enough..
166K/2 using @genkik and @anton249 shot. Thanky you both. Sometimes you can make.the second tower lean to right and topple the top tower. This time I managed to break bottom left Wood square and the top tower fell left. 93K after first bird and the second took care of the rest.
Anyone else notice that you can fire the bomb birds backwards deep into the cave? It doesn’t do anything as far as I can tell. Just a curiosity.
@philsey Not sure what you mean by “deep”.
Interesting that I cannot obtain above 70k with the first bird and cannot get above 140k with the second not matter what strategy employed. Must be the declining eyes and hand coordination!😀
@wrw01 Nope nothing to do with ‘declining eyes and hand coordination’ I can’t get it either, guess I’ve waited to long to play these episodes, been lost in Space and Seasons ! this episode is extremely hard!
I thought that this level had got significantly harder and once again was not a wise choice for the Challenge. One of maybe 2 or 3 levels in the whole of ABO that I had given up any hope of beating average.
Ok, proved myself wrong about beating average, but if anyone can get anywhere near high score I will eat my hat.
I think your hat is safe! I’ve been playing this level off and on since it first came out and can’t get above 149K. So your 154 looks pretty impressive from here.
Goodness knows I’ve tried here! The high score Strat does nothing at my end! My best idea so far is in this video. The initial collapse of the first tower needs to take out both of the pigs and do some damage. Then the first and hopefully the only bomb bird, needs to fully collapse the top tower and finish the level. I’ve managed the first bomb bird many times but it’s always been without the benefit of the self-collapse doing what it should or the other way round. Here’s the idea, maybe someone can get it to work.

155/3 revisiting. Can’t claim any significant headway but @angrychicken strat works as well as anything else. If the first had caused enough damage to the left then 2 birds instead of 3 may have made a decent score. @kathy @desperate-dan for info.

Key to high scores is obviously to get the top tower to fall. Most predictable method I have found is to aim just slightly lower than the walkthrough video, impacting the wooden triangle under the flat stone plank, packing it tight up against the left side, then detonate just below the first platform to knock out right triangle, tip tower to the right, and obliterate the lower left all at the same time. Only up to 147K so far, but I will get there.
