First bird as straight up as you can get to get upper drum. Rope of lights comes down and got one birder once. And 148K score when used second bird and one remained. Seems that more is possible. No PU’s and special slings.
134,370 – 2*
135,990 – 3*
Jingle Sling-No P/U’s Yellow bird through the rope to lower pig on right building. Depending what’s left, will determine where you send the white birds. 147k
147,210 no P/Us
Yellow bird down into the fan – sets all the rockets off taking out most of the pigs. Matilda to the pigs on the right – potential for lots more I think :)
Just got 172,190 by finishing with FLW
Same, but only after second Matilda has bounced off the lower bumper and taken out jack in the box on left tower. Then FLW to base of left tower. 202k
Soryy, should be right tower
When does the leaderboard usually “open up” for entering scores?
@divelucaya It depends on whether @sal9 stays up late on Sunday nights or wakes up early Monday mornings :) I’m unsure what time zone Sal is in, but I’m on the lower Left Coast USA. The boards are usually open between midnight and 7am PST. Sal does a great job of maintaining the leaderboards and making walk-through videos, both non-PU and with PUs, doesn’t he? Kudos and many thanks to Sal! :)
@dseufert, Yes, @sal9 does a terrific job with this site and the videos. I asked about the leaderboards because this was the first time I played a new tournament, got what I thought was decent scores, and wanted to enter them before I forgot (I have a lot of previous tournaments with no entries). The new tournaments open on Monday at 3:00 pm here which is, presently due to time change, Monday 2:00 am EST or Sunday 11:00 pm PST.
Bluestacks but also possible on PC.
First bird (JS) straight up towards the balloon. Should pop it and also the ornaments should inflict some damage and destroy the 2 pigs on the shelves. (30.0000
Second bird (Golden Sling) drop bomb after take off in order to ignite the rockets and the tree. (110.000).
Third bird (JS/KS) straight up in order to drop bomb on the top remaining ornaments (the one that are left from the flying tree :) (150.000 – 160.000)
FLW (Golden sling) with a slightly lower shot in order to take out remainings below and also destroy the crates. 200.000 – 220.000. (Say thank you).
thank you!!
Thank you…also possible on ipad with the strat of @cyborgaa,
for the last shot with FLW i used the Bouncy sling ;-)
240K Using Bluestacks Strategy:
1.) Gold Sling – Sling yellow bird straight down such that it takes out pig and rocket launch controller.
2.) Add KS – Sling matilda and drop egg in middle of first and second stone triangles such that carcass bounces off middle bounce pad and destroys some of the upper left structure.
3.) Switch to JS – Sling Matilda almost vertical such that can drop egg near or on star of top right structure.
4.) JS + FLW – Clean bottom two structure bases.

@sa9 please raise the limit this level as per above score 240K…thank you!
@sal9
I do not understand how it is possible that the PC I earn about 190 thousand points and not give the council more and on BlueStacks is almost 60 thousand more yet used everywhere Equal birds …
Pic of 251K…appears (from playing this level many times) that any score over 235K could be a glitch…I guess scores are allowed up to the angrybirds nest threshold.

202,090 using your strategy. Thank you!
Possible glitch on this level. Using the bouncy sling I sent the first bird to the first pig on the left to activate the fireworks. He bounced and hit one of the fireworks causing a chain reaction that ended with the tree exploding in midair. When that happened the entire section of blocks underneath the structure on the right completely disappeared. I ended with a score of 184,340 without the use of any powerups.
@laurali I believe so too. Several times I have had everything under the triangular stones to the right of the tree just seem to explode for no reason. This week is going to be cheaters paradise because there are so many things that can be taken out. I do not remember how I got my high score, whether it included one of the times the blocks exploded, but the best I have been able to do now is 194K. Another reason I believe there is a glitch is that with the screen zoomed out, as soon as the 1st bird is flung the screen zooms in on its own and can not be zoomed back out. This is the case on both my PC and Bluestacks.
my iphone is freezing a lot on this level when the tree blows up.
was able to see the glitch, it is with the tree. Blew up mid air and disappeared then the tree reappeared bottom right of screen knocking some things off in the covered area.
Done on iphone.
@sal9 Glitch level. I call sour grapes :)
@dseufert hmmm…theoretically would you consider glitches “open and fair” to everyone? Just a thought!
Hi Zeek @dcp77 No, I would not consider glitches by Rovio as “open and fair” to everyone. Many of our fellow Nesters play on only one platform: iOS, Android, BlueStacks, PC, or Mac. The players on BlueStacks will usually have the advantage because they can easily switch to PC or Mac desktop. As we all know, some weeks favor the ABF mobile app. Some weeks favor PC or Mac desktop on FB. The advantage goes to those privileged few who can play on the mobile app, or BlueStacks, or PC or Mac desktop interchangeably at whim.
The occasional glitches by Rovio seem to be platform specific. They are not “open and fair” to everyone, which is why glitches are not allowed on the Nest. It’s very difficult to police by Sal or other Nest admins. They depend on us Nesters to report and “guard” the leaderboards. As a matter of fact, there’s even a badge for this guardianship on the Nest. Are you interested? I’ll nominate you :)
Are we friends already here on Nest? If not, send me a Nest friend request. Let’s chat further in private, k? Send me a PM on Nest. –MB :)
Hi there Makin Bakin (@dseufert), Nice thinking process!…the randomization nature of the glitches in the ABF game is interesting though can be frustrating at the same time…thanks for the vote of confidence on the “police badge” but you and sal (@sal9) are doing a NOBLE job already…I will send you a friend request and may the force/glitches be on your side!!!!!.
(@dseufert and @sal9)…sometimes the glitches maybe so small that no one notices but only in a perfect world would there exist no glitches is my surmise which SHOULD be no surprise!
@dseufert, we are supposed to report them when we find them, though, correct? That’s all I was doing. Also, I don’t record my scores here. I just visit to find new strategies or leave new ones when I have one to share. But what about players who don’t know there’s a glitch. This particular glitch was very quick. And because I was focused on another part of the screen, I had to actually look for the damage that increased my score. I’m only trying to point out that players aren’t always trying to cheat. It can be very innocent sometimes. And another thought I had-so a glitch is found, reported and corrected. But players who took advantage of that glitch before it was corrected aren’t penalized. The players that didn’t know about it beforehand aren’t able to compete with those scores. So it seems, in this case anyway, correcting the glitch would actually create the uneven playing field-should it be corrected mid-tournament. It’s not that I think glitches are fair, it just stinks when certain players are able to utilize them and others can’t. Whether it’s due to the platform or due to it being corrected by Rovio, the outcome is still the same. That’s all I’m trying to say. Just sharing my thoughts, as irrelevant as they may be. Lol. I’d be interested to hear yours, as well. :)
@laurali A recent report by Rovio suggests that the glitch is caused by BlueStacks. They have no control over third-party browsers. And there are far too many players who use BlueStacks. It is impossible for them to police or change glitch-scores once they have been posted. There is also a large group of honest players who report the glitch and have experienced artificially inflated scores as a result, but they can’t go back and change their scores. They can only report themselves.
As I understand the Nest’s long-standing policy regarding glitch-scores, they (glitch scores) may be posted as long as the particular glitch is repeatable by any player on any platform. The recent “Matilda glitch” seems to occur only on BlueStacks, according to Rovio. So it is NOT available or repeatable to all players on any platform. However, as more and more players use BlueStacks, it has become nearly impossible for Rovio or Nest-admins to police. It is frustrating, but at this point, it just seems to be part of the game.
@dseufert, sorry I’m just now getting this. I’m not very good at noticing that little number up by my name. Lol. Yes, I agree with everything you’re saying. I don’t use Bluestacks myself, I actually experienced this glitch on my PC. I wish they never happened (well, except for the ones like with the cannons long ago, those were kind of fun. Lol), but it’s frustrating when I see those high scores but find out about the glitch after they’re fixed and can’t even attempt them to compete. So that was the reason for my comment. It seems the playing field is never level for honest players, glitch or no glitch, but if there’s one that is repeatable it would just be nice to have a shot at it. As it is, I’m technologically challenged anyhow so I wouldn’t know how to cheat even if I wanted to. I’m just an old(er) lady with too much time on my hands. Lol. But they’re the one’s that are losing out anyway, because it can’t be much fun to play without any competition. They are why I don’t compete much in the leagues these days, though. I just stick to my small group of friends. Anyway, we aren’t going to solve any of Rovio’s problems but I do appreciate you taking the time to respond. I’m off to dreamland. G’night! :)
Within an hour of the start of this week’s tournament I had a player with over 1.3M points and a big spread between #1 and #2 spots so I made a report to Rovio. Later, as another player made it over 1.3M and top scores seemed closer together, I thought I had jumped the gun. After receiving an e-mail from Rovio today indicating they would investigate score in my league, I checked it out and saw I had moved up a couple places and everyone who had over 1.3M points was gone. Goodbye LOSERS!! I still think there should be a forum category to name identified cheaters along with a pic of their ABF avatar so others can be made aware of who we are up against. Maybe a little public embarrassment would help deter their intentions.
@divelucaya I have 1.33M so far this week. Top score on my list of trusted ABF friends is over 1.4M. These are legit scores with videos or screenshots as proof. Rovio knows full well :) Send me a friend request here on Nest. We can discuss further in private, k? –MB :)
@dseufert, My apologies to all if it appears I am insinuating 1.3M is the magic number. Rovio looks at a lot of different factors. Maybe a player scored average in 5 levels and unbelievable in the remaining level. I actually reported a player in the #1 spot who had quite a lead over the others. Rovio reported back that while her high score was legit, the players in 2nd and 3rd place had cheated. What I am trying to pass on to all other ABN members is that if they have even the slightest inkling that someone in their league is cheating that they should report it to Rovio so not only can they delete them but to help improve the algorithm they are working on to automatically remove cheaters. Reporters should not fear being wrong because no harm will have been done. Rovio has always thanked me, right or wrong, in helping them continue their fight against cheaters.
Ah…Rovio has a WORLD CLASS customer service department…they just removed/regrouped the 5 scores in my league totaling over 1.5 million…KUDOS and way to go Jenni and Essi as well as the program designers and all the team there!
Anyone get free power ups back? I had mine for about a day and then nothing.
You have to keep playing the Power-Up practice. Usually just playing one practice level will get you back your 4 PUs-for-video but today I only got 3 PUs, went back and played another practice level, and got my 4th PU. It is a real PITA and I don’t mean the bread.
Hi all. Here is a strategy that not only got me my high score of 212K but also saved me on PUs because I used none until the last FLW shot. I tried this strategy because while others were giving me decent scores prior to using FLW, I found trying to take out both the rubble to the left of the “protected” hollow blocks and the blocks themselves left me with scores between 190-200K.
1) With GS, shoot YB almost horizontally through tree and hitting the corner of the horizontal stone beam above red “rods.” It is best if the tree rockets explode (after the tree busts) because if they don’t they can cause the other 3 rockets to explode prematurely. YB should bust horizontal stone beam and blast through red things, causing entire ground level structure to collapse and most of it break up. I’ve had several good shots where only a couple stone triangles were left sitting on the ground.
2) Shoot WB up at an angle and drop egg bomb to take out leftmost pig and rocket launcher. A good shot will propel WB through balloon and into structure on right tower. The rockets will launch and take out the right top pig and WB should cause half of structure to topple left and do damage below.
3) Shoot WB at a slight angle up so that the egg bomb can be dropped on anything left of the ground level structure and bounce off the lower right vertical rubber mat. You want WB to hit the structure on the left tower, but most importantly, the jack-in-the-box which is worth 5K. With luck you may also get the WB to fall straight down taking out the supports and lantern.
4) By now, I’ve had between 160 and 170K points. With FLW and either tree sling or GS shoot at the hollow blocks and red rods under the right tower. I find the GS sometimes causes FLW to blast straight through leaving hollow blocks behind.
Sorry if the instructions are too detailed, but it just my nature to be wordy. For those with tons of PUs you can try some of the shots using KS from the beginning. I hope this helps someone struggling to get a decent score for this level.
God I hate getting old. I forgot to mention that this strategy was used on Bluestacks. I will post the outcome for Android tablet and PC when I try them.
Wow, on the PC I got much better destruction but significantly lower scores. If I had this destruction on Bluestacks I’d probably be in the top 5.

It would be helpful if the screen didn’t keep re-sizing as you played!
