A good strategy for Poached Eggs level 1-16 is to take down the structure by flinging two Yellow birds at a low arch, destroying as much wood as possible in the process. The score in the video below is 65,440.
Debut: This level is the debut of the Yellow Bird, whose real name is “Chuck”. He increases in velocity when activated. He can be used for “shoot the moon” shots; i.e., firing nearly vertically then accelerating through the target area.
Version 2022:
if you aim the first one a little bit higher you could get all the pigs in one shot. I got 68,050 with that.
Increase score just above average by the strategy in the video.
Almost obtained a one-bird solution but need some assitance on this level, any suggestions?
Theoretically, if you: a)find the right impact point and b)dig deep enough into the structure, then you can 1-bird this level. I haven’t quite got there yet, but I believe it to be possible.
I finally got the 1 bird shot and only slightly improved my best 2 birder :/
Update: at 68,620 with 2 birder , I beat my 1 bird score by 1K.
Sure wish I knew if those top scores were 1 or 2 birders!
Tips for eagle destruction on Chrome:
– Another not-too-hard level. Clear as much up top thstructure as you can with your birds, and put the sardines as close to the edge without falling off for maximum destruction (You may let it fall off, but there won’t be as much destruction as not letting it fall off).
Use all birds to create as much destruction as possible, then launch the can horizontally.
If you get lucky following the video method, the first bird can earn 18k+ even with the right side still intact. Also, the second bird should be aimed slightly higher so that some of the debris falls off to the right for better damage.
I’ve had the above score since forever from Chrome AB, but I can’t even come close on ABO for this level, so I’ll just keep trying ’til I do.
I’ve lost about 1.27k with the above score which is the closest I came with ABO to the Chrome 69k.
Pretty much a straight on shot aiming for the exposed end of the horizontal plank upon which the upper left pig sits. Accelerate almost right after leaving the sling. Your aim should allow for a very small arc in the shot with the acceleration to begin on the upslope of this arc. Hit the plank end square on for more destruction. Score was 70,930
I used your strat and it took awhile but it finally worked for me !!!! Thx!!!
Ty @trogon, same as your strat. Unfortunately my iPad screen was on closeup so couldn’t show damage but pulled back sling and dropped fractionally till just a spot of light showed then accelerated immediately, will include both photos in case it helps anyone

Used the same strategy (thanks @trogon) with immediate acceleration.
@kelani, @sweetp – here is my screenshot https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/annach/album/picture/15144/
Yes, immediate acceleration is the way to go! Thanks @trogon.

@xebic88, glad to be of assistance son. congrats to all who will be purchasing new collars and leads tomorrow
@trogon Thanks for the strat :) gosh it was driving me nuts lol after getting within ten points ,yay.
Congrats @windwalker letting me know.@comex666 .@annach .@steely59 and @aleksch well done ,bring on a few more ..
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/xebic88/album/picture/15146/
Thanks @sweetp and @kelani
Same as @trogon, thanks! I aimed just like @windwalker: the tiniest glimpse of light between the sling strings. https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/gladvold/album/picture/15147/
@sweetp @kelani
Judging from these 75k scores this is another level that’s become much easier over the years. Glad I came back for the challenge and picked up some 4k in points. IPhone 6 user.
@pjdambra you should post a screenshot of your score & the strategy you used, you could get your first Underdog badge :)
@pjdambra, please provide a screenshot of the score, so that I may award you that puppy! Thanks.
Ok I think this will do it.

Like everyone I used the 1-bird shot described by @trogon. I didn’t have much luck overall, falling just shy of the treshold 3 times, but eventually the stars aligned. I got a surprising 76740 after many resets.
A puppy score is definitely possible with 2 birds f you get 30K+ with 1 pig left on the first shot. I managed to break 75K once that way.
ABO Poached Eggs 1-16 76740
@kelani @sweetp
@trogon Used your strategy like several others have and got a great score in today’s challenge.

Taken all day for a one birder,finally recorded 71,110
Tried so many times for 1 bird solution without success. Then tried zooming out to max, and got it with my second shot. Maybe just coincidence but worth a try!
2 Bird solution – 70120
Got this one while I was getting frustrated trying to one-bird this level. Easier way, which allows you to break the 70k barrier.
1-st Chuck:
Try to aim for the horizontal wooden plank just below the Medium Basic Pig (top left). Almost horizontal shot, with immediate engage (to get max impact). Middle planks should be crushed aswell. As you can read above it’s the one bird solution, but usually what happens, is that Small Basic Pig (bottom right) usually survives the first impact.
2-nd Chuck:
Make almost identical shot like previous one (you can make it slightly lower), to destroy remaining pig(s), as much wood as you can.
Not 10 minutes after Challenge started I got a 1-birder on iPad for 72190 with almost straight shot to horizontal wood in the middle with an immediate boost. I don’t know if this level has gotten easier or I was able to improve my 69320 because it was from my very 1st Andriod phone & almost 4 yrs ago shorty after I’d begun playjng.
I just tried same strategy as @justpast40 and improved my score as well. Maybe the level has gotten easier or we’re better fingers now? ;)
…. 4+ months later and my puppy dry spell is finally over. It may only be by 20 points, but at this point I don’t care.
This 75380 was on iPhone & with my old eyes I couldn’t tell whether there was a bit or sliver of light between slings. Shot like my iPad comment & other puppies I straight on with immediate boost. In looking at HighScore pic I can’t see the spot usually seen from boost, so it may have been a tad past the sling. Prior to this, on iPad, I’d had 29490 with 1 bird left & boost is just past sling.
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/justpast40/album/picture/15148/
@sweetp & @kelani
a special Congrats @justpast40 on your well deserved puppy! I’m so glad you broke your streak :-)
I used same strategy as posted by @trogon. I think this level might have changed since the last update, it become easier to get higher scores here. I expect lots of new puppies today.
@kelani @sweetp here is the screenshot https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/aleksch/album/picture/15141/
I can answer the “has this level got easier” question
I started flinging, very poorly, when I realised I had not downloaded the Flock Favorites update, as I rarely played ABo.
The difference was amazing. The sling has got much closer to the bird’s wooden castle.
My scoring was significantly higher, although still chasing a new bundle of furry cuteness!
The power of the Whine!
Two minutes later, puppy was mine.
Same strat as everyone else
@sweetp
Poached Eggs #1-16 puppy
@hunnybunny – I have to agree and thank you for mentioning the Flock Favorites! I play an original iPad and I can’t update for the new Flock Favorites, so when I read your comment, I grabbed my iPhone 6 and sure enough the Flock Favorites update is there and after only a few flings I was able to get a new puppy today;) here’s the link @sweetp and @kelani:
picture
I can’t believe the difference just across the two platforms! Now I have to think about this on all levels going forward! I know what I’ll be asking for for Christmas…an updated iPad!!!
Ps same start as everyone else! Thanks to all for tips and congrats to everyone who got new puppies so far
Let me try that again @sweetp and @kelani…here is the correct link:
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/lesleyg/album/picture/15151/
If I finish the day only 340 points shy of a puppy I will NOT be happy. I was in the top 5 earlier and now I’m booted out of top 10. Congrats to the EIGHT puppies already – send good juju my way so I can be the 9th!
*sends good juju* Keep trying! Persistence wins the race.
@maiasatara Good juju sent, hope it helps you get another puppy in today’s challenge.
Sending you some good luck @maiasatara. Are you on the most recent ABO version? That Is they key.
Aw, my peeps! Thank you @angrychicken, @jtwade and @justpast40. Unlike the failing Seasons releases I refuse to update, I’m current in ABO. I assume that’s how I’m even over 75k. Did I see there are 16 puppies now? Wow! I wonder if that’s a record. I’m going back to get those 340 points now. Actually 350 to put me over. Good luck, all!
Holy cow! The juju works!!!!! Here’s my screenshot for the puppy. I went in a little higher than the video and boosted about half way between sling and structure. After the first bird I had 30K with 1 pig left and a remaining debris neatly stacked by pig. I almost reset because my highest 2 bird score was 73,000. I took a chance and bang – 78,000!!!!! @sweetp and @kelani
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/maiasatara/album/picture/15163/
Wow @maiasatara! That is one pig banging triumph! You definitely nailed this one! Only two pieces of wood remaining. Congrats on another puppy!
Thanks @gypsybird, congrats to you, too! Only my second puppy but I’m still astounded by the good luck on this one. My first puppy was just me. While that’s nice, too, it’s kinda fun being in a big pack!
Congratulations on the trophy @maiasatara Your strat going higher and activate later seems to be the way to go! I tried it a few times and improved a little bit quite fast. Nothing close to your gigantic score though!
@maiasatara Way to go. Glad to see that you not only got a puppy, but a high score to boot.
@maiasatara, way to go & the only 78k !!!! ( at least for now) I hope your #1 stands, but I think I’ll try a few more ; -)
I just joined today’s puppy parade with 76,110 points. The photo in my album shows that I used the same one-bird method, mentioned above, to get another Underdog Award.
@sweetp & @kelani – https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/meanguy/album/picture/15152/
Congrats to all the new puppy owners !!
Good luck & happy flinging !!!
Initially scored in the underdog range by employing the strategy of @trogon for 65,590. That was great until I fell out of the top five. Continued to use this strat for a while then decided to try a little different. Used TWO BIRDS to get 65,620. Aimed first bird a little higher and the second bird a little lower. Strategy is probably not good enough to get the top but definitely good enough to get the puppy. Basically, anyone just trying for a puppy score should fling the second bird to see what happens.
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/wicket182/album/picture/15153/ @sweetp
Reverted back to the strategy of @trogon to score 77,100.
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/wicket182/album/picture/15160/
I had a one birder with acceleration into the center post. Kept getting close until finally got 75860 for an underdog, I too wonder if this has gotten easier, before this morning I was 7K or 8K lower. here is the link to my photo..@sweetp & @kelani .. https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/sammer48/album/picture/15154/
Congrats to all new puppies!!
What the heck is a puppy, and how do you get one?
@gumby – If you look up at the very top of the page, above the yellow bar, you will see where it says, “Challenge – Poached Eggs Level 1-16”. Click on that highlighted level and it will bring you to the Challenge level for the day. Each day there is a “Challenge” level and if you beat the Top Score, which you will see that today it started out at 75360, you too can earn a “puppy” ;-))) So basically if you beat that score and write here how you played it and upload a screenshot of your proof of score and mention @sweetp and @kelani to grab there attention…you will earn an “Underdog Badge” which we have all just nicknamed “puppy”. You can find more info under the tab “About” and/or “Community” within the yellow info bar up top ;-)
Good Luck and I hope that helps some. I’m sure others can help explain it better…any takers?
You beat me to it @lesleyg & thanks for the Congrats … I thought I’d never get another puppy.
The only other thing I would add for @gumby is that there are many other Badges that we can earn, the Underdog is just one & here’s a link to Badges: https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/about/badges-ranking/
Having trouble even besting my score of 70k. I’ve been trying for hours now
Thx @ everybody. Still trying to best my 70k score with no luck :(
@gumby, this level was apparently made easier with the recent Flock Favorites update, so make sure you’re on the current ABO version.
GL, while there are 16 puppies so far today, despite the fact I’m a fairly decent flinger, I’m low man on the totem pole with puppy score, only beating the starting score by 20 points, so while it seems it’s easier than it was before the update, there are some good flingers who have not yet beaten the starting 75360. Don’t give up : -)
Now I’m in on the Puppy Parade too! I also used the approach of @trogon! Thanks! I gradually got more points each try today until I reached the 75720. Still trying for more, but am posting now just in case. Congrats to ALL the many winners on today’s Underdog Challenge!
I have a theory on why this level just seems ‘easier’ today than it did way back in the early days…Might be that Rovio updated to make it ‘easier’, might be that we have just gotten better with our birds…
But the main theory that certainly stands out, is that our Little Green Piggies slacked off and haven’t been paying for Termite Extermination! Those little termites keep eating away at the wood structures and the wood crumbles when the birds strike! Tsk Tsk little pigs!

@gypsybird, please change your picture access to “Public” so that I could take a look. Thank you!
Uh oh, sorry @sweetp, I normally set all my pictures to be seen by registered members but on this one I forgot to check that…apologies. I’ve change the setting to ‘registered members’ so you should be able to see it now. Kind of a month late. I didn’t check my messages sooner.
Thanks @gypsybird, got it! :)
Well I have searched for a flock favorites update to no avail. However I did find Angry birds Starwars, Starwars 2, Stella,, Rio, Space and Epic. Which I now have them all, it looks like I will be flinging for the next 30 years.
Like many others, same shot as @trogon. Struggled last year to get a 1-birder, so definitely easier now.
Screen shot for @kelani and @sweetp:
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/peejaydee27/album/picture/15164/
And WTG @maiasatara!!! You nailed this one big time with a 2-birder. Congrats on your top score :))
Finally, enough for a puppy – i really struggled with this one, but finally succeeded by sending it on a slightly higher arc & accelerating about a third of the way to the structure. Hit the horizontal plank under the upper left pig & the bird punched through to the other side.
Congrats to all other puppy winners!
@sweetp – https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/karen68/album/picture/15165/
I improved my score last night, but not quite enough for a puppy. I came back today and tried some more. One bird as per @trogon. Congrats to all of todays winners. @kelani and @sweetp https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/hoy49/album/picture/15166/
Ha! Finally did it. 76240, same strat as others. Screen shot is in my album; hopefully this link takes you there https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/3sjs/album/picture/15168/
Sorry. Forgot to mention @kelani and @sweetp in my post above.
Last second addition to the plethora of puppies awarded today. I have a picture but need help on how to post it please.
@kelani @sweetp
I think I figured it out. I used the same strategy as everyone else today.
@kelani @sweetp
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/mg516/album/picture/15169/
@mg516, Sorry I didn’t see your cry for help, I was so busy counting all of the new puppy owners! I’m glad you figured out how to post the link to your screenshot, thank you!
Just an other level Rovio has changed. Seems that they are out of oak and got a good bargain for balsa tree. FIRST try and I beat my previous hard fought record. Happy or sad – the jury is out.
78692/1
Definitely one for the “try this with Classics” list. A couple of higher scores with no proof but I’m sure they are bona fida – 80k ought to be a possibility.
So I got this score using Classics. I used all the tips above. But what I found even better is I launch chuck on I high arc into the air, and then as soon as chuck is coming down I released chucks ability. It destroyed all the wood planks in the middle part that needed to be destroyed. And that’s what lead me to this score. I used a bit of both strategies, by launching chuck into the center, and using chucks ability in mid flight to the center destroying some would that need to be destroyed in the center. I found it was good but it didn’t happen that frequently, and didn’t cause as much destruction. So I thought of using the high arc instead because then if I aim it to the center, I will get even more destruction and getting rid of the wood planks in the middle would happen more frequently too.

@discobeaks congrats on a great score and thanks for posting your screen shots and strat. It took me a while to get the launch angle and activation timing figured out, after which I was able to get a few scores of 80k. Couldn’t quite beat you score, though!
Ooh, I’ve joined the 80000 club and squeezed between the two of you…
@discobeaks, good flinging, proved my prediction!
