Watch below as we use three boomerang birds to secure three stars and 80950 points.
The first shot is a “Standard Hal” shot, over the top of the first structure and coming back into the TNT. With the second bird, we use the “Reverse Remi” shot, high and back to sail to the stone tower at the upper right, toppling it into the structure and TNT below. Finally, this last shot has to be perfect. Follow the contour of the hill and activate just as he gets to the opening of the tunnel and with practice and skill you can get him to come back into the tunnel unscathed to take out that pesky pig. In the video, he then falls into the hole and gets another 3K for a cupcake there. 10K bonus!
Note, read the comments below regarding a present appearing – well worth it for this one!
Dear mates, for this one you need the present box in the cave replacing the leftmost pig. First shot like vid. To achieve high scores go for > 23K. Second shot like vid as well, you will need luck for good destruction. My best results were if the tower fell rightwards into the rubble. No need more for 3rd and 4th shot: means +20K.
@emider Interesting, so does the game not register presents as need-to-kill pigs? That could be quite useful in some levels. Here it would only gives 1-2k extra I’d say, since you’re also missing out on a 3k cupcake.
@angrychicken, yes, I first thought that the present “covers” means hides the pig. Or that at least you have to hit the present. I just wanted to fling the third shot, but the level was over!
Calculation should be like this I think:
If I do not take the third shot +10K for not using Hal#3.
If I use him perfectly 3K for the present box and 3K for the “candle” (or whatever) beneath it.
So that’s how I managed that high score.
How did you achieve your score?
@emider I flung the first bird straight ahead against the middle of the long vertical stone in the first tower, no activation. TNT should explode on impact, 20k minimum.
Then second bird into the cave like shown in walkthrough.
Third bird remi-reverse immediately so he hits the second horizontal plank from above in the highest tower.
Quite surprised by the score, actually. My previous best was only 80k. I think the boulder can rack up a lot of points if it falls just right.
The presents give 5k because they replace a pig which also gives 5k so it’s 5k + 3k + some damage points = 8,xxx points. You may be confused with the Angry Birds Rio presents which fall from the sky and do give 3k.
Dear @angrychicken,
pls check my comment “Bird Island Level 31-10”
Dear @angrychicken,
still, I think hitting the TNT from behind via remi-reverse gives in average more points for that first shot. Seems it has a better impact or so. That’s why I get >23K occasionally. So go for 90K!!
@emider Thanks for the tip, I will give both levels a shot. You may be right about reversing into the tnt, I haven’t tried that yet.
@emider It worked! First shot towards the highest tower. Keep at it untill you get at least 45k. Then finish off with an easy reverse shot into the left tnt.

@angrychicken, I see it as at least a 10k bonus. With the pig in the tunnel, the level can be completed with just one bird. If there is a pig in the tunnel, it cannot be done with just 1 bird. Thats a 3 bird bonus instead of 2.
With a present instead of a pig, bird 1 is used to take out the middle tower and bird 2 is used to take out the upper right tower. (either will have debris take out the far right tower) level. No need to fling bird 3 for the pig in the tunnel as is not there. completed in 2 birds with the bonus of the upper right tower.
@sparty83 I don’t quite follow your logic but I won’t argue over it. However, I am curious as to how you would complete the level with 1 bird, while still toppling all 3 towers? It seems to me that the upper right and left tower cannot both be reached with a single shot.
Dear @angrychicken, I managed a one birder with 48560 points.
Shoot as high as possible remi-reverse, graze the pig in the center tower, Hal rolls down to lowest tower and activates TNT.
Need to hit the highest tower somehow….
To be continued.
@emider That’s not a 1-birder, that’s just skipping to the finish ;-)
That 3rd shot is crazy hard. Here’s a picture showing the trajectory and release spot to get that pig. I hope it helps.

This was a tough one to confirm!
49450 – 2 stars
50580 – 3 stars
@bernersenn
7-3 is an estimate which still needs to be confirmed
7-15 I should have for you sometime today
@jtb thanks for all the efforts.
And indeed, still missing those two values
Wasn’t impressed with this level. That pig in the tunnel is not that easy to get!! 82k
For this level there are 2 different situations that can make this level very tough or very easy.
Normal Layout: Pig in the tunnel – tougher
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/sparty83/album/picture/21706/
2 birder- first bird over center tower into tnt, takes out tower and bird rolls back to take out right tower. Second bird into tunnel to take out final bird. 2 bird bonus
3 birder – first bird, reverse remi into top right tower. Second bird over first tower into tnt, bird rolls right. (bird from shot 2 can roll back to take out far right tower or debris from shot 1 will) Third bird into tunnel to take out final bird – 1 bird bonus
Easy Layout: Pig replaced with a power up present
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/sparty83/album/picture/21672/
1 birder- first bird over center tower into tnt, bird rolls right taking out far right tower. 3 bird bonus
2 birder (a) – First bird over center tower into tnt, bird rolls right taking out right tower. 2nd bird – quickly into tunnel to take out present. 2 bird bonus
2 birder (b) – first bird reverse remi into top right tower. Second bird over center tower into tnt. Debris from tower 1 or bird from shot 2 takes out far right bird and tower (these 2 shots can be reversed)- 2 bird bonus
3 birder – first bird reverse remi into top right tower. Second bird over center tower into tnt. either bird rolls righ to take out far right tower or debris from shot 1 will. Third bird, quickly, into tunnel to take out power up present. 1 bird bonus.
Due to the pig in the tunnel being replaced by a power up present, the level becomes much easier. It can be done in 1 bird. With a pig there, it is in my opinion, impossible to get a 1 birder. And since its just a present, the level completion screen does not come back as using a power up, as none was.
I have found out that if your level does not start with a present and you want to get one, I have closed the game, re-started it and went straight to this level and a present appears in the tunnel.
I had the present and lost it! Won’t come back even with a hard one and restart. If you get the present, keep playing g until you are happy with your score!
And right after the post. Third time’s a charm! Three stop+starts and I have the present, there is hope!
87330 with present. I always thougt that using the ” present” was chesting. But I’ll take it anytime on this level. What says @admis @bernersenn ?
Adding fuel to the fire, a screenshot:
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/grrtammy/album/picture/21790/
Awaiting @admins feedback to leave my current 89320 with the surviving present, or revert to my fully legit but mediocre 84790.
For what it’s worth, this is the only level I can recall where a present makes a significant difference in level play.
@rush, copying admins again as there’s a typo in yours.
@grrtammy @rush the score looks fine to me.
Two birder using present as described by sparty83.
90720/2 (with gift). It is nice to know that it is OK to use the “present”. If you get it there it will stay until you go to another level. I´ve been using the same present all day.I use the reverse Remi first to the second tower. If you don´t get more than say 42K reset. Second bird just above the TNT, can give you 25K.
So from being the worst level it´s now one of the easiest with 2 relatively easy shots.
2 days ago my score was 56K….
Have not played AB for a while, but I have no clue about this “present” I have seen mentioned several times by different players. Is that a power-up or something you only get when actively using power-ups. I have had them disabled historically, even though they are now turned on by default. I just have no clue how anybody is getting presents and how this is impacting scores and allowed by @admins. I have had several times that the annoying black bird is offered, where I just hit pause and restart, to avoid using it, but finally was able to get that to stop. This “present” thing is just baffling me as I have just not seen it anywhere that I can remember.
@pointdexter5 The presents appear after a certain amount of time and replace one of the pigs in the level. They give 5k when popped, the same as the pigs, and contain one random power-up. Whether you are actually using power-ups or not doesn’t matter.
At the moment they seem to be bugged because you can complete the level even if the present is still there. In this level the pig in the tunnel gets turned into a present, which saves you one bird (+10k) and a difficult shot, so at the end of the equation you gain a few thousand points and the level gets easier.
As far as I can see there is no way to disable them which is probably why these scores are allowed, to avoid extra confusion in the leaderboards. Add it to the list of ‘minor improvements’ Rovio has forced upon us.
Well @angrychicken, having played this level well over 100 times, I have not seen any present ever, so not sure what I’m doing differently. Unclear yet if the present where to disappear if you hit restart on the level compared to playing it, which is what I was doing anytime the game forced the special bomb bird on me. That would be the sure way for everybody to play by the same rules, but that’s okay, as long as I can play with a clean conscience, it doesn’t matter.
Here’s a picture. They just appear every so often. This is from an IPad 3 on iOS 9.xx using Angry Birds V7. Where yours have gone is anyone’s guess! Anyway if the present appears on this level there is no need to destroy it to end the level, which means that you can just keep trying until a high score is achieved. It’s all a bit “iffy” to me as some time back I asked if the presents made any difference to scores and was assured by admins that they didn’t. Ye right!

I was unable to update AB due to an old iOS version, and the update it applied froze the entire app, could not re-start. So I switched to seasons, but once I finished all levels I could play there, I ran into the same snag of not being able to upgrade further.
Long story short, I have not been able to play AB for almost 10 months now so I finally decided to pull my highscore (LUA) files, upgrade iOS and see if I could upgrade AB and still have all my scores from the past. It all worked well, and I’m mostly in airplane mode when I play to avoid ads, so just not been around to know what is going on in these levels, and how to achieve the new Golden Eggs related to these levels. I’m still in the top 100, even with 2 birthday levels and the new Bird Island not added, and know for sure I will be in the top 10 once I do enter scores. Just not clear on some of these new “features” and their validity when it comes to high scores. But like I said, the scores just have to be honest to me. It’s not like we’re world famous or anything, it’s just a game…
hi @pointdexter5 , although i had upgraded always, i also wasn’t getting any presents. a few days ago, reading the comment on bird island 31-10, i wondered whether my lack of presents was due to me playing in airplane mode, and sure enough, starting the game while being online immediately got me a present in that level. anyway, after verifying that indeed this `worked’ (btw nice find by emider) to finish the level with one `presentified’ pig left, decided that i do not want to make use of this new feature/bug.
Appreciate the input! I’ll just keep playing in airplane mode, as it limits ads and other junk that is not necessary to play.
Thanks for the heads up on this level. Much appreciated. I’ve found that taking out the far tower first works best and that a score over 45k will be needed (without the piggy in the first tower). Down to luck to get that 45k.
Dear mate, the first thing Rovio should change back are the 5 potions in Golden Egg #31.
@emider @admins This no longer works on V7.1.0 which is a shame for all those who didn’t manage it. Come on Rovio stop making this game unfair!
I can confirm it no longer works. If present appears, you need to hit it to end level. Looks like I missed out on the extra points.
Latest update did not revert – you must still hit present to end level.
I can confirm the present still does not work by receiving it three times and having to eliminate it to complete the level.
Used the same strategy as ABNest but reversed the first two shots for a higher score as mentioned above. Once figured out some aiming tips for the birds this level became fun to play. The third bird was the challenge but used the tail feather with the cherry stem to help with getting the bird into the channel on a more consistent trajectory.
Interesting item about this level is that one cannot zoom in or out with this level. Have not experienced that previously.
88980/3. This is a post “present” score, so high scores are still possible after the revision, one just has to work harder!
Anyway, here are the details, although its not a new strat.
First bird over the top of the middle tower, striking the end of the right arm of the structure. Bird then drops down into the TNT and rolls right off the platform into the right side tower. The advantage here is that there is good destruction of the middle tower, and getting the right tower with the first bird usually results in more points down the road. A good score here is 25K as the bird rolls down, and 36K or so after the right tower is destroyed. I reset if I didn’t have at least 30K at this point.
Second bird. Launch at about the 5 o,clock position, as far down as you can before the bird starts crawling back up toward the sling. You want full power on this one. Reverse immediately after launch. This will get the top tower and hopefully all of it, or nearly all of it, will fall right. A good score after this is 60K. The third bird nets 9K at best, so I reset if I wasn’t within 10K of my high score at this point. On my high score, I had just under 70K at this point. The best I ever got was 71K+, but I blew the third shot.
Third bird over the top boomeranging into the horizontal chute to get the last piggie. Usually Boomer rebounds and falls down the left chute to get the cupcake. Given the blown shot after getting 71K, 90K+ is definitely possible, even after the revision.
That’s it. Hope it helps.
@jackiegraham
Can you describe the strategy?
