The best strategy for Poached Eggs level 2-20 is to loft the White bird over the main structure, bombing the small stone block to the right of the encased TNT. The TNT will detonate and throw debris across the entire level. It may take a few tries, but a 1-bird clear will result in high points. The score in the video below is 55,530.
Version 2022:
I used the above method, and it worked like a charm, increased my score by 4K. This is easily repeated.
Maybe murash can explain his secret? 6k higher than 2nd?!
Hi to all.
I can’t say that above method is wrong. It is the most obvious one.
I achieve 73.000 by doing the opposite. Not going around with white bird, but going from the front and use egg blast + tnt. If you go around, tnt and the egg explodes at same point, but if you go from front, you have 2 blasts and you do more damage to rocks.
Below link will show you exact line of first bird and time when to trow away the egg.

It is very hard shot. Everything needs to explode at ones, not to wait that something falls on tnt.
In the photo I almost made 75.000, but didn’t had luck that something smashes that remaining pigg. If you get this shot right, a assure you that it is possible to achieve 77.000.
Hope this helps.
Best regards
Murash :)
Thanks Murash! and thanks for the screen cap showing the first bird tragectory, should be very helpful.
Thanks a lot! I’ll try when I’ve the time :)
The layout of the background on iOS is a bit different, and I have been trying for over an hour without success. I’m not sure if I am considered a crazy shooter like some of our other top players, but I generally can figure these strategies out. I was ale to improve my score using the old strategy, but not yet using the new strategy. Trying some different approaches to bombing the front.
I told you that is a very hard shot. :)
Yesterday, I tried to improve my score, and I managed only 2 times to go above 70.000, from about few hundred attempts.
When you first time succeed to find that perfect trajectory and when to release the egg, it will be much easier to make good score.
bird needs to fly just over wooden barricades, and to release the egg when the bird gets over second pig. The egg crashes some of bricks and the bird need to get trough and crash at least first of two wooden barricades in structure. That way it will push all thing and TNT will explode. Only catch is, that the bird has to be in right position and the TNT blast will launch it back to kill the first pig.
wow, pretty tough shot and somehow the white bird needs to be also in the right spot.
thanks for sharing your secret :D
For the bird to crash the wood, it has to break/move the small cement brick first, then also pass through one pig. I have tried many times, and there is never enough power left by the time the wood is reached. I wonder if the layout in google+ is a bit different, since the screen shot already looks a bit different. If not, great shot I would say. It has me intrigued.
@Pointdexter5, I just loaded up AB on Google+ and compared the layout of 2-20 to what I have on my andriod. They look identical.
On my phone, I have been able to get the white bird to “go through the front” taking out the pig, wood and setting off the tnt. (only once in about 50 tries). It did not clear the level but I will keep trying. Although I will admit that the one time I did it, the shot was not exactly like Murash’s. I mis-aimed, shooting a bit higher, and the bird went through the gap, just above the small brick. I was able to drop the egg before crashing into the pig.
From Murash’s screen cap, it looks like the white bird goes in the gap also, just above the small brick. ( I could be wrong, Murash, do you remember if you hit that small brick or cleared it and entered the gap cleanly?) If that is the case, I can see the white bird having enough energy to take out the pig and wood to set off the tnt. Until I duplicate it this is only a guess. (or if someone else does)
I have been trying this approach, and I wonder if it isn’t breaking the long, thin stone piece with the bird carcass that sets off the TNT, or at least frees things up to move enough for it to go off with a lesser contact. I haven’t been successful yet, so I don’t know, but it seems more likely than actually having the bird break through that many items.
Okay, I was just able to get it into the hole and explode, and I took everything out, yet with only a high in the 57k range, which is below the score I set yesterday using the old method. If I drop the egg outside of the structure, the bird never seems to have enough speed to also break the wood. Have to keep trying and testing.
@pointdexter5 I think it is possible on iOS. I was able to get this http://angrybir.de/ONjaGQ. TNT didn’t explode but it was close. The trick is not to get in the hole but break the long horizontal and fat block under. The little stone block and helmet pig get out of the way and the structure tip over. You can experiment with three birds to reproduce the same setup and you will see occasionaly the TNT triggers. Will spend some time another day…
I’ll try to explain again.
White bird releases the egg above second pig, but goes under the small brick, smashing few blocks and goes forward to the wood.
I can make 67k-69k shot easy, but it’s hard to explain, it needs to be perfect trajectory and perfect time to launch the egg. And after that, you also need a lot of luck.
Try to measure trajectory by background, and when releasing the egg, look at the second pig, not the wall in front. (it helps me to release the egg at perfect time)
C’mon, try little harder. If you can’t do it, just give me G+ username and pass and i’ll do the shot :))), kidding.
I don’t know how this is on google+.. but after quite some tries on my phone I just didnt think it was possible. I opened chrome.. and was reminded of the fact that the white bird’s corpse is so much bigger in chrome compared to my phone.. for example it is really easy to get 85k+ on 2-15, while I had a hard time finally passing 72k on my phone and still haven’t passed 80k (okay, I haven’t had much luck on that level either). On 2-20 in chrome.. I can see how the white bird can push the whole structure onto the tnt.. so it would probably be possible to do it on murash way as well.. but again, not sure if this is the same for google+
A tough shot, indeed. But continued experimentation leads me to believe that this will be a good high score strat. That is, once I master the necessary shot. What’s the old saying… don’t hold your breath?
wow! thanks for sharing this strategy. It helps to see the shot; now I just need to make the shot :). Great job.
This is the shot I had been trying for the last 135 tries and I finally gave up because I thought I was doing the wrong shot boy was I surprised when I gave up and came here to view the walk through. I will keep trying to get it to work now that I know it works.
I appreciate your strategy @murash and thank you for sharing it ~ but so far I haven’t had success getting the bird to crash through the wood to the TNT.
i can´t see the pictures.
here a video with 69800:

low, activate as late as over second pig
Welcome! And thanks for sharing. Next you need a profile and an impressive avatar. See forum on how to create avatars. Click on someone else’s name to see what they have in their profile. Have to admit the profiles of people on this page, including me, aren’t the most exciting…
Well, I would like to confirm Murash’s method. I was able to duplicate his method on Google+. My score isn’t as good as his, but it was my first completion using his method. I was able to clear the entire level with just one bird, going in the front. I got 49, 480 with a 2 bird bonus for a grand total of 69,480. (over 10k higher than I got on my android phone.) I am not going to post this score since all my scores are from my andriod. I don’t like to mix and match across platforms.
I did make a screen capture but not completely sure how to post it here.
Additional clarification. The white bird does NOT go into the gap and kill the pig and then smash through the wood. (at least not for me). With such a low trajectory, dropping the egg on the second pig and then the white bird slams into the structure, and the egg does damage to the base and kills pig number 2. That causes the top part (above the tnt and pig) to wobble. In my case, it started to fall to the left, killing the pig inside. Then one piece of concrete fell onto the tnt sending bricks in both directions, killing the 2 remaining pigs.
Let me see if this works.

Should be a screen cap of my method.
Great job Sparty.
I am glad that you made it, and proven that my method is manageable.
:D
No problem Murash!
There are a lot of users here that are all familiar with someone posting a very high score and never explaining how they did it. Not only did you explain it, you also showed how you did it. The best validation of a “new” strat is to have someone duplicate it. There are some very good shooters here (much better than me) and I am suprised no one posted this before me.
With that help I was able to duplicate it on AB for Chrome+. I have not been able to duplicate it on my phone yet. As someone mentioned before, it appears that the white bird is a bit bigger on chrome than on iOS or android.
I have been trying, but I also need to watch my position, to keep people behind me from catching up. I may need to create a bigger gap before I can go back and dedicate time to 2-20 again. I was able to get up to 64k, but this was with sending the bomber into the front opening and detonating before hitting the pig inside.
This approach is different, and I have tried many times already without any progress yet. Will keep trying.
Anyone did this on I-pad yet?
Broke the stones many times, the flat one below the small cube gives best result.
Still t doesn’t go trough but the building wobbles.
I am trying on an iPad with similar results. I keep white bird below small block as described and fire right above pig. Lots of bricks broken including plank, and a couple times the top of the structure toppled to the left, but TNT never explodes. I must have tried at least 1000 times :(
Will try again another day…
Ditto @bonneypattycat. Tried every slight variation (also on iPad) and the TNT never blows up. Would love to see if someone can get it, but perhaps it is platform dependent? I don’t know enough about the technicalities to judge. There’s always tomorrow :))
I know it’s a little late, but here is the pic from above, now in my album.

I’m trying to do this on Angry Birds for Facebook – tried for 20 minutes and the closest I got was killing 3 with 1 bird. It seems the middle pig next to the stone tower, the debris *BOUNCES* on him rather than killing him. High score was barely over 50000.
@murash I have been trying for the last hour. Getting closer to success. Focusing only on the pig right in front of the structure which seems to aid in activating the bird to drop the egg in the correct area.
Used the tip of the leaves behind the sling to adjust the height of the bird above the helmet.
Broken the grey blocks, rocked the structure, killed the pig and also broken the grey plank under the pig. The “sweet” spot appears to be by the plank upper and lower. Once I hit the plank and little block and the block shot right into the pig and thought it had enough force to go through the wood but it did not.
Also noticed a couple different patterns of block breakage. When I hit the little block to the above right of the pig’s helmet it had a deep breakage but hard shot to make. You have provided the proof for all to see it is possible. Thank you. I will keep flinging.
Oh geez the high score looks like a extremely tough one to get. Thankfully at this point I’m more focused on getting 3 stars on everything than getting high scores since I just recently got the game. Good job for those that have done it.
I did it like the video about 100 times and i kept getting better and better scores, the other way was just to hard to get right! Thanks for the video I’m really happy with my score and can finally move on!
I hate this level I was bound and determined to finish it with out the walk through after 135 tries with 2 stars and a low score I had to give in.
One shot for just under 75k! White bird high arc over structure, and drop egg on the small jut out on right side. 3 -4 Blocks will fall right, and the rest will blow left taking out the pigs, and wood!! 1 shot, no Power Ups on Facebook!!
That’s really cool! Its easier to get higher scores on Facebook. There is different spot for Facebook scores for that reason. You did. Great job flinging! Keep it up!
Thanks to @comex666 Didn’t think it was possible to replicate your video but after 20 mins it happened. Thanks very much. And, as it’s the top score, here are the in-play and tally shots.

Hi @cybele Dana that’s a great score. Do you have
(sorry it posted before I’d finished) ..back up pictures and a strat? Thanks.
