Here is our strategy for this very special Angry Birds Seasons The Pig Days Level 1-3. Fling the Red bird down through the TNT near the slingshot, then target the hanging pigs with the next few birds. Detonating the TNT under King Pig is the goal, though usually this will happen with the Black bird. The score in the video below is 189,130.
Note: This level celebrates our fourth birthday! Seriously!!!!

Bonus! Our The Pig Days level 1-3 Mighty Eagle walkthrough is live as well!
178k=2*
185k=3*
182320 is 3*, so it’s between 179k & 182k
181k is three stars. Will keep trying for 180.
180k = ***. Now we just need 179.
Thanks guys. 179k = 2stars, so it’s confirmed at 180.

@amslimfordy whenever I hit the cake a small piglet flies up to the slingshot, landing on White and Black Birds heads and I have to waste a bird to get it
Also whenever I hit King Pig he starts shaking and rotates to climb on the wall and (rarely) he will roll with his hat to the left< killing the pigs.
So….. are these part of the level? Or are they bugs?
193,630 currently, but I think there is a lot more in it. It seems to be advisable to first shoot RB directly at the leftmost small pig. The structure explodes anyway, but that annoying little thing is prone to be left unharmed, or even survive an unbelievable explosion thrown into the branches of the tree if not hit right away.
Another strategy that detonates the TNT under the “Game of Thrones”-style King Pig more quickly.
Red Bird: Nearby TNTs, like video.
Yellow Bird: Keep it relatively flat and snipe between the trophy and the “Game of Thrones” throne. You can break through both planks and detonate the TNT.
Blue Birds: Arc a bit more than in the video. I managed to clear all except for 1 small piglet (the one on the top “shelf”, left of the egg).
Other birds can vary a bit if they’re needed, so I don’t think it’s worthwhile to describe further. Unfortunately, I haven’t managed to perfect points yet, as I sit at 189,740.
@Slimfordy, I found that it was far more productive to launch the Ble Bird on steep arc backward into the tree. Splitting immediately after launch netted many more points than 10k depending on how many yellow blossoms (3k eack) were hit. Whatever damage the the Blue Bird would have done by launching forward more than handled by Terrence and the Bomb Bird.
Those flowers in the tree behind the sling are worth 3k each & I’m thinking a perfect blue bird split can earn a huge score. I’ve only managed 210k so far, but I’m not done with morning coffee.
219,600 now. I tried the flowers but not too successfully, it is too narrow for the sling. As I see it, one of the ways to make a decent score is to blow up the concrete “crown” fully, i. e. to dust, but it seems to be a matter of luck entirely. Small rockets do not help either.
I sent red bird down to the red/orange egg and two pigs down in front of the sling, exploding as much of the front structure as possible. Then YB to cut through balloons dropping eggs for more explosions down below.
By now the Right King Pig and tnt’s were still intact with a piglet or two left in the middle area.
Now for the blue birds…I think this is the key to getting a LOT of extra points…I sent them BACKWARDS…into the tree of the sling and split them immediately so that they rain down throughout the tree, getting lots of 3000 points!!! The tree is loaded with points ;-)
Bomb Bird far right to land at the left base of the King Pig and tnt. The explosion can finish off the level but you may need WB to clean up any survivors.
Fun Level with lots of possibilities ;-)))
OOps…I forgot to mention Terrence…I sent him through some of the snow blocks that remained in left structure, where he continued on to hit the “hinge” wood thing with wheels holding the present. Then Bomb Bird to far right exploding the tnt’s to finish the level ;-)
It’s possible for YB to ignite the tnt’s after he cuts through the balloons…if this happens, I still use the blues in the tree and fling Terrence and/or BB to get any remaining pigs or debris left. 210K this way.
Thanks for the tip about the points in the trees, @lesleyg – your strategy got me an extra 18k.
Pretty much like @lesleyg for 137k. I also followed @vic-the-Huns advise to send first bird to the left little piggie next to the egg. Finished the level with the bomb bird. That spikey thing rolled to the left taking out all the remaining piggies, and broke up in the process. I didn’t do particularly well with the blues in the tree, so much higher scores should be coming.
Followed @lesleyg strat, 218k so far.
I have couple of pointers to add:
1. If the first red bird causes the pig (with or without egg) to fly up and land on the sling branch; if pig/egg landed near the front where 2nd yellow bird (Chuck) in sling can reach, I have used Chuck to push the pig (and egg) off branch and crash for the points.
The trick is to push pig off branch without letting Chuck go, then Chuck can be lined up for the second shot.
(If the pig is left more than likely it will take an extra bird to pop later.)
2. If you have Stella (the last pink bird) left, sometimes you can fling her into the tree for more tree flower points. At 3k per flower, need to get at least 4 flowers to be ahead. I found the number of flowers can vary a lot, if you can only get three or less, then you lose the 10k points as extra bird. It is a total gamble to throw Stella at the end or not.
(Bubbles will not get flowers, only the actual bird body.)
I didn’t read all comments so I don’t know if either of my pointers were already mentioned, if so, “never mind”.
Happy flinging!
Another fun possibility is to shoot the first back and up at the top cluster of three flowers. Sometimes it will bounce back to the structure and take out a few blocks, and once it set off the TNT. A hundred different ways to play this level.
Another feature is that sometimes the big spikes thing will slowly roll back to the left and clean things for you. If it’s wobbling, stopping and give it a chance to do damage.
Try this stratagy, first bird down to the first cloud block 55,000 ish, yellow though first balloon bird and into far right pile, blue back wards into the tree where all the points are try to get one blue to fall to the left to get max points, big guy through upright clouds and coming back to clear left, and last bird bomb to base of spike thing and when it blows it should come back to clear the remaining pigs on the steps, two birds left. My score 240,070.
Fantastic score @jetmang I just bettered my score by 15k, by following your strategy!! Much thanks!
Thanks Terribletom, just don’t beat my score.
Great score @jetmang! One clarification please. When you say big guy coming back to clear left, are you referring to the presents under the tree?
No not the presents, but bouncing back from the second stair and clearing the pigs and crane thing.
Thanks. I thought that’s what you meant. I’ve only occasionally gotten a preset when a rocket randomly splashes down under the tree.
Finally put it all together!
Single bird clears are so much easier, just rinse/repeat with minor tweaks till it gets right.
This level requires 4 great shots, 3 of which require them to be just about perfect.
1. RB pretty simple.
2. YB thru first pig/egg and must drop rocket lumber and break the timber at a 45deg angle just past the throne. If not, the the bomb bird does not get the secondary explosion sending it rolling back.
3. Blues as others have noted. For me, I pull back till the sling just lengthens and then a smidge more. Release and immediately split.
4. Thanks @jetmang for the clarification for this shot!
5. Then bombs away and hope for rollback.
I’m done with this level! Is it really 10 days till level 4?!
Improved several thousand using your strat – thank you!
Awesome score @jetmang!
I was doing strategies similar to some of those already posted, with my highest score being 207k. I decided to try a different idea altogether. My aim was to get yellow bird to explode the far right TNT … I only succeeded in that once and muffed the rest of the birds *laugh*. Still, my strategy has raised my score to 221k and I am going to keep playing with it.
I flung Red up high, taking down the first 2 balloon pigs. This allowed me to fling Chuck at a less steep angle to get the last balloon pig and try for the far right TNT. Didn’t get it to explode in my 221k attempt though. Blue birds backwards into the tree, early split. I sent Terrence down into the birthday cake (Happy Birdday Angry Birds Nest!!!). Then Bomb Bird over to the King Pig. Got lucky and the spiked thing rolled left and took out the remaining piggies.
Finally got a big harvest of flowers for 230k but did not set off the TNT pile.
For those of you sending the blues backwards, would be interested in your angle. I seem to get varying results repeating an assortment of trajectories.
Also, @admins, it seems that @bonneypattycat needs a clean-up in aisle 3. :P
@mcc8206 For the blues, I shoot as high as possible, splitting early, with the intent than one or two of the birds come down the left side.
Posts/replies do not seem to be landing where they should. This should appear as a reply to your post, but I won’t be surprised if it lands elsewhere.
@mcc8206, I’m not sure there’s one blue bird split that’s a lot better than others as there’s a lot of points back there. Here I got over 28k: https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/justpast40/album/picture/10357, but it looks like you’re well on your way to getting a great score.
@bonneypattycat and @justpast40 thanks for your feedback. Although I’m enjoying this level, there seems to be a requirement for good fortune. The same shot often yields vastly different scores. The blues shot especially.
Just like the Blue Bird, launching the WB backward into the tree and immediately dropping its egg can also yield more points than the 10k extra-bird bonus. The carcass naturally flies on an arc over the tree and down the left side hitting many 3k blossoms on its downward path. Quickly check your score after the Bomb Bird. If you’ve popped all pigs and the 20k bonus doesn’t satisfy you, launch WB backward — you might get lucky.
Where and how do you play this level?
@sMayn – go to AB seasons. Make sure you are updated to the S Hamerica version. Just after you press the yellow play button, the next screen has “Pig Days” at the top. Click there and you’re on your way!
I can’t get to this level, had a notification it was ready but the icon has nine days and a padlock.
Something screwy with my iOS?
It happens, try this:
1- Clear apps from multitask bar
2- Restart device
3- Check your internet connection
Hi all, the ABN birthday level is a great thank you from Rovio but I just wanted to highlight what an outstanding level it also is. It’s a big level, always good. High scoring which is always a winner for the people here. It’s very well designed and even introduces a topical character. The addition of the massive scoring but impossible tree is very clever. I honestly think it’s very cool that they didn’t just give you a basic level but one a designer / developer spent some quality time creating.
Has anyone nailed a 100% with the Mighty Eagle. I can’t get passed 97.
Yes, clear as much as possible using all the birds, then drop the can on the tree, between the third and fourth branches. (second and third works as well)
Awesome. Got it on the first shot.
Does flower count % in feather? Stuck at 99%.
Anything that’s worth points counts. Those 3k-point flowers are super valuable.
Couldn’t believe no one managed to get above 250K yet.It’s wise to launch Matilda backwards if you are able to clear the level with Bomb.The egg will destroy 2-3 flowers and the shell/carcass pinches 2 before rebounding and hitting sth else.Current high managed by the shell rebounding into the remaining pig.
Is the King Pig on an Iron Throne?
What a fun level Rovio created for us! Brilliant strat @justpast40 and @lesleyg sending the Blues up into the tree. Happy B’Day ABN!
Thanks @sheilahdb, I knew when I posted the possibilities were “endless” with all those points. I think the most I’ve managed with backwards split (sounds painful doesn’t it ??,) is about 38k.
243k. I use bird 1 to take out presents under tree. Aim close to orange/red egg. Use tree leaf to aim. Usually get 46k on bird 1, repeatable 10-20% of time. I reset without presents. For the 243k I had 60k on bird 1, rest very similar to others, had 2 birds left. 250k is possible.
@johndogsdad, I can’t seem to get the presents under the tree aiming red above, below, or at the orange/red egg. Am I missing something obvious here?
Aim to the right side of the egg. Pull the red bird back to the tip of the tree leaf (zoomed in). The red bird gets thrown to the left and hits the presents. There is still a lot of the cake left, but you get that later.
Thank you @johndogsdad, worked like a charm once I knew what I was looking for and kept at it. Now to try to translate it into a higher score.
Was able to add 6k, directly attributable to the presents under the tree. Thanks again @johndogsdad.
Brilliant strat. Was stuck on the same score for weeks, and this netted me 3k more finally. I thought there had to be a way to get the presents but never managed it. I’m sure I can get even more using your strat. THANKS!!
I can’t get my feather even when I clear almost everything. Is there a glitch or is there something I can do?
The answer is five post up.
Yes, thanks, it worked!
I have noticed in all the AB’s Ames that if you have a high score its harder to get the feather sorted. I usually do it immediately then work on bettering he score. Anyone else noticed ?
I know its about a week late, but Happy Birthday AngryBirdsnest! Keep up the good walkthroughs! You guys are so awesome!!
Scrolling down the comments I see that almost everything I have to offer is already been discussed… red into the cake, just passing the little wooden block that is hanging from the edge of the cake. Yellow to the far right, the Blues to the flowers in the tree, Big red to the steps and rolling back, bomb bird to throne. Or so I thought until I edited the video, I got extra lucky as there was a little pig that survived the first attack on the cake… it is sitting there right until the last bomb bird. It got killed by a chain reaction of debris, never knew LOL
Anyway I got a score of 226720. But I see a little tip left by @johndogsdad on how to get the presents! I kept trying but gave up, your comment makes me wanna try some more, so thanks!!
Here is my video of the 226k. I will be back :)
Thanks! Your videos help.
Again @Estar thanks for bringing all these tips to life with your video; ) is not easy to read them sifting through and trying to put them all in sense, but to actually see in action makes it much easier.. and thanks to all for the helpful tips and strats!!
thx for the video @e-star
same as in the video, only with more debris (many points under the tree)

I employed the strategy in the @e-star video. Broke some stuff popped some pigs and watched some fireworks. @admins happy birthday and thanks for all you do.
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/wicket182/album/picture/15570/ @sweetp
After 249,220 with five birds, achieved 249,700 using six birds.
After getting puppy it was time to experiment a little. Deviated first shot from @e-star and used @johndogsdad first shot. Needed 67ish or restarted. Second shot the same. Third wiggled like two “clicks” to the right from when the sling starts to shorten. Third and forth shots the same. Metal thingy rolled all the way down.
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/wicket182/album/picture/15575/
Much like the video from @e-star, thank you!
The scores after each shot are so variable, but this is a fun level to fling birds around & see what happens.
Something rolled under the tree to get 2 of the presents, I didn’t see what. I got a lot of points from the flowers in the tree, including some hit by a couple of rockets, I think that’s what made the difference in my score. There was quite a bit of the stone headdress left, although it broke apart.

Congrats ABN on celebration of birthday and special episode! I love this site and appreciate all of your work.
Red as usual, yellow up through balloons loosening boards above TNT. Blue backwards through tree. Explosive managed to detonate TNT destroying pig while his headgear flew off and rolled down steps destroying everything in its path. Netting 247K.
Needles to say, the headdress was the key.
Getting back to this level after almost a year for this Challenge and not remembering how to play it, I looked at the video by @e-star to refresh my memory, and followed it almost exactly. After playing for about 20 min this way I got 249950, which is good for a puppy! I think this level has been modified and gives higher scores now. @kelani, @sweetp – my screenshot https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/annach/album/picture/15548/
Here is what I did slightly differently from e-star video: yellow bird a little higher, through balloons; big red slightly lower, to the pig next to the crane. The rest is basically the same. Good luck everyone and Happy Birthday AngryBirdsNest!
Happy Birthday Angry Birds Nest – this looks like a good day for a puppy parade! I followed the established high score strat: little red down to the two pigs at the bottom left; yellow up to take out the three suspended pigs, damage the hanging limb and hopefully set off some firecrackers; blues up to the flowers in the tree on the left; bomb bird over to the headdress setting off the tnt and causing the headdress to roll left, taking out any remaining pigs AND disintigrating in the process.
Been months since I got a puppy. @kelani @sweetp here’s a link to a photo of my score:
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/hallieginsb/album/picture/15549/
@admins might want to raise the max score on this level – it’s not letting me enter my score of 253,810.
Go ahead @hallieginsb :)
I am joining the puppy parade. I used the first bird as per @johndogsdad and tried to follow the video from @e-star. I had to use the last white bird to cleanup one of the pigs so my score could have been higher. (253,900)
@sweetp @kelani https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/hoy49/album/picture/15553/
@admins I concur with @hallieginsb the max score needs to be raised. It will not take my score of 253,900. Also @hunnybunny this may be one to add to the list of seasons levels that got easier.
Thanks @hoy49 I’ll monitor to see the puppy count. Let’s hope it’s a big one!
Unfortunately, it’s just as hard for me as it always was :-(
Happy anniversary ABN! I employed the strategy of @jetmang, thanks for sharing! I have tried e-star’s method but it seemed to waste the rocket’s explosions which could be better spent down below.
First shot at the orange egg close to the sling. second shot through the hanging piggies and bringing the ‘rocket roof’ down. The two tnt stacks already exploded here sending the stone crown tumbling to the left and leaving only one pig standing. Next blues into the tree, got OK clearance I guess, maybe 10 or 11 flowers. There is probably no best way to shoot them. I sent big brother a little lower to just nick the crane, sending it and the last survivor to Belize with the help of a conveniently placed rocket. I did not get any of the bottom left presents so plenty of room for improvement.
255280 with 3 birds left: https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/angrychicken/album/picture/15557/
@kelani @sweetp
Wow. You should enter that score, @angrychicken!
@silverbird Was just about to ;-) Limit needed to be adjusted.
Now that IS impressive, @angrychicken! Something I’ve never dared hope for. Congratulations again!
Happy Birthday ABN. A wonderful site! Thank you @admins
Congrats to puppy winners today. Looks like I missed it by 500 points, or so. Not my favourite level…
