What would a farming episode be without a few more scarecrows? We knock ‘em all down for a 203K 3 star clear in the video below.
Chuck goes up top and zips through to the TNT, dropping the boulder and taking out the top of the level. Next send Stella low to the middle, breaking the wagon wheel and makin’ some bacon. Follow with Terrence, through the stove and clearing the bottom. We finish up with Matilda barely clearing the rock ledge, activating so that her ricochet takes her into the scarecrow on the right. One remaining bird gives us 10K more.
Feel free to leave comments below, but don’t just post your scores – that’s what the leaderboards are for.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This level is currently experiencing a glitch that allows the player to rack up a lot of points. For this reason we’ve decided to temporarily disable the leaderboard entry for this level. We’ll reenable it the moment a fix for this glitch arrives.

Ahem
This level has an annoying glitch. It freezes in the middle of play. Its happened 3 times in less than 30 minutes of play. I’m playing on a new Galaxy tablet, so its not my platform. In fact I cant remember the last time a level froze.
I think the freezing took place when I fired the second bird and it continues. Maybe this is related to the strange behaviour reported by others. Instead of getting a high score, it causes my device to freeze.
I now have definitive proof that the high scores are related to the same glitch that causes freezing on my device. I took a screenshot when it froze showing everything is destroyed. It was after firing Stella at the TNT on top.
I seem to recall a similar situation yesterday as well.
Here is the link to the screenshot.

I have a very high score on this level – 273,040 – and I don’t know how it happened. The top left scarecrow toppled to the right and then there was an explosion somewhere on the right and this score appeared.
Anybody have something similar happen?
Same thing , better result !
No explanation…
Screen shot showing the score is in my album. Can’t post it because it’s too high.
@admins what do I do next?
@whoosher I just raised the cap. You should be able to enter your score now.
Btw, here is your picture: 34-13
I don’t what happend but after the second shot everything was gone! I did fire the 3. bird, don’t know why just routine I guess. There is a screen dump in my album, it this a glitch, or just excellent shooting :-) ?

@josephine this looks to me like being a glitch.
We will discuss this in the admin group. Thanks for reporting
@bernersenn, you’re welcome. I did post this score so let me know if I have to remove.
@bernersenn – same thing happened to me. I’m willing to revert to my previous 206K if the admins say so, but I can’t see how you can police this if you have a marginally crazy score like my 228K with a clean high score screenshot.
@grrtammy I would suggest to leave it just as it is. Meaning, enter your 228k.
We will see how this is developing
Cc @admins
Definitely a glitch. My score of 216k came quite normally. On reading some of the comments on here I played the level a few more times to replicate. Finally got it. After 2 birds, the screen blanked, leaving just the red bird and total destruction. The score was only 164k but it’s quite obvious that very high scores will follow.

159,260 = 2*
160,240 = 3*
@admins
I’ve also gotten the glitch several times, scores seem random.
@steely59 thanks.
Yes, we have to think about the glitch and the scores. Cc @admins
This level crashes my iPad 3 but not my iPhone 6. The glitch seems to be triggered when the lower level tnt explodes and throws debris to the left. I’m of the opinion that all scores on this level should be zeroed as soon as the glitch is fixed.
Some of the scores are already being reset, by the glitch. I’ve not gotten a high score from the glitch. My 205 K was obtained the old fashioned way. However, in trying to increase the score, I’ve had my high score reset to zero three times. I’m now capturing screen shots whenever I do get an increase. In addition to the resets, there are instances where the screen just freezes with no change in score. I haven’t been able to pick up the cause of the glitch, because there are too much debris causing damage.
I’m playing on an iPad 2.
My score of 232k was obtained without the help of the glitch but I’d be happy to have it deleted as and when.
I take no pleasure from this crazy score but as others are using it so am I! @admins please sort it out.
@steviep147
We discussed the “glitch scores” in our admin group. We removed all scores higher than 236k, since glitch scores aren’t allowed on the leaderboards.
So guys, please check your own score on the leaderboard and enter the normal score again.
@bernersenn could you clarify: what is supposed to be a glitch score and what a normal score? and how can anyone prove this? where does this 236k limit come from, why not simply remove all scores so that everyone is aware (i think that many of the scores now kept are glitch scores)? how to remove glitch scores from my device?
on my device (ipad air), there’s really no telling, since the glitch sometimes is only partial, only removing some of the objects (say the lower half), during play, and then the level looks like it could have been obtained by ordinary play (it fooled me a few times into thinking i had scored 230k+ with ordinary play, but on closer inspection the destruction did not correspond to my strat; for this reason i question the 225k+ scores on the leaderboard ). on my device, i can continue playing, with all or some objects removed by the glitch, but behaviour is weird; e.g. then throwing terrence into the void it usually does hit something and my score suddenly jumps from, say 150k+ to 220k+ (but typically the later birds disappear immediately when thrown).
that is, i do not think that this solution solves anything. imo the only, unfortunate, solution is to ignore this level (in leaderboards etc.).
@vuelva the ‘236k’ value is picked as a reference to make players aware that their scores were deleted if they exceeded this value.
Your idea about ignoring these games on the leaderboards is a good one. I will discuss this in the admin group.
Thanks for your reply.
@admins I agree with @vuelva. Remove all scores until Rovio fixes this issue. I see that the high score of 296k is still active!
On the same subject. Short Fuse 27-11 is another one!
My 248K score was a glitch score. I support disabling this level, until it is fixed., if it ever is. My non-glitch score was 216K but I don’t even want to enter it now.
@admins @bernersenn FYI scores over your 236k limit are still being entered.
@steviep147 not anymore!
:-))
@admins, for what it’s worth, this is what I posted on Angry Birds Seasons The Pig Days Level 3-11 Walkthrough | Earth Day!
I’m sure you and the rest of the admins are still discussing what to do about this level. But I guess it will come down to whether this is considered a GLITCH (and what sort of GLITCH) or a BUG. As slim mentioned on Angry Birds Seasons Wreck the Halls Level 1-23 on Jul 11, ’13 at 9:34 am(https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/angry-birds-seasons-wreck-the-halls-level-1-23-walkthrough/comment-page-1/#comments)
“The time and date that a glitch is discovered is not really relevant. Far more important is that the glitch was available universally as part of normal gameplay. As you said, if the glitch is widely available, then there should be no issue with permitting the scores. That’s precisely the case here: The glitch was available in v2.1.0 for any and all to “take advantage of”.
That’s not to say that we permit all glitched scores. The “double-bird bonus” in Rio was not a factor of normal gameplay and thus is not permitted. There was a “Jellybean” glitch that would cause nearly any arbitrary level to self-destruct violently, and those users have graciously agreed to not enter their scores. But this glitch falls in line with the Santa Hat glitch and the Fruity Buffet glitch (the latter may still be active, but it’s super super rare).” ( end of quote)
In my opinion, this is very similar to the Santa Hat Glitch and the Fruity Buffet glitch where everything just goes boom.
It also is not the same sort of glitch as in Angry Birds Seasons Ham Dunk Level 4-2 or Angry Birds Space Pig Dipper Bonus Level S-15 where skill/luck is required to have the scores count up to a very high score. I know there are issues with some users losing scores (luckily I have not had this happen to me)so I can see how it can be classified as a bug over a glitch.
Also, if Glitch scores are not permitted, some sort of cap will need to be implemented and scores above it will need to be proven to be glitch free scores. (not sure how to do that)
(also, since I posted that quite some time ago, there have been plenty of levels that just explode like this one does, but my feeble mind can not remember them at this time)
A month and a half later, and it looks like the glitch is still there. Played this level a bunch today (7/5/217) and for a while it seemed it was gone, but then had a game where about the time I fired a third bird, glitch. So at this point I have a glitchy personal high score about 29k higher than my best non-glitch sore.
Just downloaded the update on 9 July 17 and then played this level for the first time. Discovered the glitch and got an astronomical score (270300) after everything wend boom. Investigated this site and found that this level was disabled on the leader board. Found this in the news feed and came here.
I would vote for either ignoring this in the leaderboard scores or allowing it. I am opposed to accepting these higher scores after the glitch is fixed. That is unfair to players who come along later. There are a number of levels that I can’t get a good score on since I came along after the glitch was fixed.
As of the release of the new version with Jurassic Pork, the glitch is still there (25 Aug 2017). High score for me is 283560.
@admins not 100% sure but can’t get a glitch score. Leaderboard still disabled. Has anyone else managed to get the glitch with the release of Jurassic pork 3
@ixan57 we are discussing this in the admin group. We will come back with a statement
Glitch still lives as of Dec 1, 2017.
The glitch that won’t die. Still there as of 01 Jan 2018.
@bernersenn @birdleader
Played this level for about 30 minutes and did not experience a glitch as mentioned above. I do no really know if the glitch has been removed but the best score I was able to obtain was 198,260. I was able to get into the 180k range a few more times.
Nothing strange happened while playing.
May want to revisit this level and see if the glitch has been fixed.
I play on an iPad Pro.
@wrw01
Thanks for notifying us. We will discuss this within the admin group.
I can imagine that users who don’t update their game…
@birdleader @admins
@bernersenn @birdleader @admins will check later for glitch. had to raise a ticket with rovio on this update. Basically when not on WiFi mode the game does not open.
Sorry @wrw01 also
Another update on ABC glitch still there,tho I’ve yet to see a high score as a result,mine just freezes.How does the high scoring differ from the freezing?
@admins I think it’s safe to say the Glitch has been fixed, 2 years and 2 updates (not counting but fixes) later.
Personally I like to compete against others, but more importantly complete against myself, Where is the fun of the game and the Spirit of Nest when the Leaderboard is ‘disabled’ Idk Just my opinion, when I first started on the Nest I was afraid to enter scores because I was not good enough i thought, but now It’s what makes the Nest ‘The Nest’
I can deal with other people’s glitch scores as long as I know My score is truly My own personal best!
And what happened to the days when we use to use Glitch scores as badges , contests, test of persistency??
This level is No fun if scores aren’t allowed 🐣
Add -On to previous, I’ve been Flinging for a half hour, no sign of Glitch, so far I’ve attained 3 stars with 171820 as of 9-27-19
@kathy when I was doing the Eagle video on this a couple of weeks ago the glitch was still happening on my ipad. Saw it several times, made getting the feather a bit difficult!
Thanks @Karen68 🐣 Maybe it’s device dependant or maybe I just haven’t given it enough time to see it happen,I really appreciate your input on this and respect that 😉 I’ll withdraw my request to have the boards opened just keep trying to do my best. At this point I just want to complete the episode and Get off the Farm 😂
and thanks for all the ME videos.
oops Cc: @ admins See above ∆∆∆
CC: @admins see above again ∆∆∆∆∆∆
@kathy @karen68
Based upon the comments about the glitch topic, I don’t think that we can enable this level again.
Beside that, even if the glitch was removed within the updated versions, we faced on other levels that players were able to use the older versions.
Thanks for your efforts, anyway.
@admins
Thanks @Bernersenn for your thoughts, wise words as usual 🐣 I understand that it wouldn’t be fair, and there’s always someone who will complain. I’ll just keep trying to do my personal best, One question though, will the leaderboard tally now say there’s a missing score? or does this one just technically ‘Not exist’?
le jeu 34 – 13 est toujours désactivé.
Vous n’avez toujours pas trouvé de correctif.?
Just FYI, the glitch is still here 03/10/2021.

Thanks for notifying us. We can now consider that the glitch won’t be removed by Rovio.
@admins
Let’s try this again…
