Our strategy for Angry Birds Seasons The Pig Days Level 1-4 is to launch a Black Bird into the lowest white blocks of the Tower. It should topple, and for highest scores the hardhat pig underneath should be popped. Finish by flinging a Black bird as far as possible toward the right. There’s some extra points by knocking over the mini-tower to the left of the slingshot (thanks @mrshabs; or watch @E-Star’s 355k video). The score in the video below is 327,170.
Note: This level commemorates the 841st anniversary of breaking ground on the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Bonus! Our The Pig Days level 1-4 Mighty Eagle walkthrough is live as well!
Send 1st Bomb Bird into left tower for 25k then same as video.
Clever approach! I could have played for a long time and never have thought of launching to the left. Thanks.
Just had a 1-birder by launching 1st bird per video, suddenly realized that the bonus would only yield 340k, and quickly launched 2nd bird left as you suggested. Result was 349k! The debris doesn’t always fall the way you want; when it does, you have to take advantage. Thanks again for sharing your strategy.
That my dear @mrshabs is brilliant!
Agree! I would only add — let the bobm bird settle and detonate on its own. It should slowly descend close to the bottom and yield a few more points than manual detonation at impact.
Great find @mrshabs! Couldn’t understand why my score was below average on the boards. Thanks to you I increased by nearly 20k! Cheers!
Great tip @mrshabs thanks! ! I used it for my second bird, wanted to make sure the hardhat under the structure got hit by first bird first. .but either way great thinking!
First bomb left,second bomb into back of second snow block from bottom.Secret is when bottom “flips” end over onto ledge to clean out 3 pigs. Good Luck.
345k – 3 birdie
1. shoot BB to the bottom left snow block to make the tower fall and you have to kill the pig hiding down the bottom. 281k
2. shoot BB backwards to push the tower over. 301k
3. shoot BB to the far right and as soon as you hit the ledge, bomb it. 325k
4. 2 bonuses. 345k
A 1 birder is possible on this level, but don’t expect to break any scoring records with it. I did a 1 bird on this level and got 331k. If I was thinking quick enough, I could have launched backwards for the additional 25k, which with my quick math would end up about 350k using only 2 birds.
That’s what I did: first bird killed all the piggies and second bird backwards for the left tower points. Don’t wait to find out if you’ve killed all the piggies before firing to the left tower, because the level times out quite quickly.
I suggest going for the left tower first, so you are not rushed if Pisa is creating a one-birder and Big Red is jumping. If you let BB hit the left tower, fall down, and self-detonate, scores of 25k+ are common.
My highest score after falling the left tower is 27020
27130 :)
I send the bomb bird to the tower and make it topple over, make sure you kill the bottom pig too. A score of 294k so far. Second bomb to the left, the columns are worth 20K! Third bomb to the right to take out the remaining pigs, a score of 355020, which I can not fill in yet, but I am sure that will change soon :)
Here is my video.
Hi @e-star.
Thanks for the video always so appreciated.
If you want to approach 350k, after the first shot you must have a score about 287k. If not, you can reset.
Thanks as always @e-star
I think your placement of the tower shot thru the second ice block is key. I also found better scores by not manually detonating BB
E-star, another thanks for your video. Haven’t seen one lately. This one earned me the top score for now. Certainly there are more points to be had. A screen shot is in my album.
@bonzai @captrec and @jwfisherman glad my video could contribute in your great scores. @jwfisherman Top score for now, congratulations!!
[whine mode on] You think you have a great score. You wait impatiently that the ABN’s Leaderboard is ready to enter that score. And then you realise it is 20k below average… [whine mode off]
@spongebob thanks for the great advice with senidng one bomb left.
@trishohara: I think I hold the record for that “feat”. On ABO Golden Egg Level 31, I thought I had everything figured and went post my totally awesome score and found out I was 500k below average! Humbling!
[whine mode on] I was playing this level and got a 1 birder for ~233k. Came here and saw my score was BELOW average by 7k. Only after reading that there is a +20k shot to the left that the light bulb went on over my head.
Back to it

Welcome to my world. Whenever a new episode is released, I work diligently to get 3-stars and as high a score as I think I can get before I post my scores. It is quite a letdown to find out that my best efforts are just par for the field. That is when I check the walkthroughs and read the posts of the high-flying nesters and fine tune my strategies.
Here’s how to maximize the the points on the shot to the left. Shoot low over Terrence’s head but do not detonate on impact. Let the bomb fall until it is even with the where the top two columns touch the bottom two columns (about even with the top of the tower) and then detonate. This detonation point gives the columns an extra push for more damage, upwards of 28k. Shoot this shot first so you know when you’ve got max points for it. Reset if too low.

Fine-tuning this a bit, you want to detonate the bomb bird when it is next to the top of the second column. This gives the bottom two columns a little extra push and the upper columns will fall back to the right and land on the bottom columns for more damage points.
@dmsral, I was going to post a pic with those points, but mine was only 27090, but a few flings later I managed just under 28k with 27910. Nothing is visible as remaining in either pic, but I don’t imagine too many more points are possible. I have not however succeeded with the “purrfect” shot to the tower killing all those pesky piggies.
I think my top left shot was 28400, but I don’t remember for sure. I agree that there can’t be too many points left.
Thanks @dmsral. I was similarly experimenting and you are spot on.
My best score so far, 352k, was using three birds: one to the left as described above, one to the tower and one more to the far right. After the second bird I had 316k with two pigs surviving.
I also narrowly missed a 350k plus score with just the first two birds.
After seeing the difference of going for the tower first, I retried, and bettered my score by 7k!! 353k
Top score at the moment is 357k. I just missed by one piggy a 360k score with two birds. I predict we will see it by the end of the first day.
357,870 with 2 birds for the top score of the moment. I didn’t get much of the cones on the right, so I expect to see higher scores soon.
For the tower, I like to aim for the second snow block up from the bottom, one higher than the walkthrough. This will sometimes give a good pop to the right, resulting in high-scoring 2-birder.
thanks @bonneypattycat just achieved the same result but aiming one block higher.
TY @Bonneypattycat, this second ice block does seem to be the “Sweet Spot” (pun intended!).
This spot seems to break more of leaning tower for higher debris score, plus more of a chance for right flying debris for 1 bird clearing of pigs…. Did the 1 pig clear about 3 times, but game timed out too fast to get second bird to left posts, so resulted in lower score :-(
Maybe I will try the suggestion of hitting left posts first?
PS. On Low carb diet……I haven’t have ice cream in over a year!
Power of suggestion; I think I might need to get Blizzard tonight!
@diannas absolutely, go for the left side first. I see no benefit in not doing so, and no worries about the level timing out when you do.
Well, I tried… Hundreds of more flings with taking out left posts first, then the leaning tower.
I just couldn’t get higher than my current score 352k.
I did have about 5 of the 2 bird clears, but not enough points.
I think missing the ice cream cones hurt my score? More the reason to get a DQ Blizzard!
So I tried….. but it is now time to move on.
I will for sure come back again later to try it again.
@bonneypattycat Thanks for the post. Used similar strategy maybe just above the line between the two blocks. With the first bird a number of blocks lifted as a group and went to the right side destroying most of the items on the right side. Second bird to the left. Three birds remaining for bonus.
Thanks for the tip on the sweet spots @bonneypattycat :D finally i feel I’m making Some progress in this episode :)
One of my shortest-lived top scores ever!
Maybe it wasn’t ever a top score. Could be I was looking at an unrefreshed screen…
Not A Strategy
On behalf of Angry Birds addicts everywhere who also happen to be diabetic, I hereby request that Rovio refrain from filling level after level with sugary sweets, as they have done with this scene featuring Gelato-gobbling Pigsanos. Yes, Rovio, we get it: Bad Piggies love their desserts like… well… like a fat kid attacking a chocolate cake, for lack of a better cliché.
It started out innocently enough with that clever little AB Space episode called Utopia: a world where dentists are rolling in dough (most likely cookie dough) and inhabitants have insulin pumps implanted soon after they are born. We’ve also endured exploding Birdday Cake every December, just around the time of year all the sugar-filled goodies embedded in holiday episodes of AB Seasons. The only escape at this point is some sort of virtual hypoglycemic coma/trance.
The crème brûlée really hit the fan for me a few weeks ago when Rovio honored this site with a Pig Days level celebrating the supposed birthday of AngryBirdsNest. At first glance, I was relieved at the apparent absence of all things Birdday, especially those cakes topped with layer after layer of exploding frosting. On closer inspection however — once you get past the fresh fruit-camouflaged, explosive-filled obstacles — heart-shaped boxes of chocolate conveniently litter the landscape. It must be way too difficult for these high-fructose-corn-syrup-loving Finlanders to imagine Bad Piggies snacking on string cheese or even stealing some of the birds’ sunflower seeds.
We say enough is enough, Rovio. Your insulin-challenged fans are officially protesting your subliminal strategy of depicting Bad Piggies as sugary-drink-swilling swine in order to fulfill your ultimate goal: world domination. Cut the carbs or you’ll be hearing from my lawyer. Aloha.
@surfcow too funny! As it happens, I had just started to eat an ice cream cone before reading your post. I had just returned from the grocery store where I had an inexplicable craving for an ice cream cone. I next to never buy ice cream, and it has been many years since I last bought cones, but today I did. Now it all makes sense ;)
@surfcow – as the proprietor of a Sweet Shop/Candy Store I would like to thank Rovio for the subliminal – or not :) – advertising that has brought at least one extra customer into our establishment. We also offer a sugar free range for thin pigs!!
Just an observation and nothing to do with gameplay, but I wonder why the graphics on the menu page and score page for this level show a yellow bird heading for the tower, but there is actually no yellow bird in the level itself? Not important, just curious :)
@peejaydee27 Interesting, I suppose that’s all I’m going to see now when I play these levels… At least it’s something to look forward to as I wait for a decent score. lol
Gumby Congrats on the trophy 🏆Wooot!!!
@gumby
Could you please post a screenshot showing your highscore?
@bernersenn here is the screenshot you requested.
Pig Days 1-4
Thanks @gumby
Very quick action.
@bernersenn it would have been quicker if I hadn’t been eating my lunch. I followed E-star video for my score.
@gumby
Congratulations on your high score and also for the way you acted out your scripted role in this exchange.
Hilarious 😂
@Andy-2 no script involved just simple courtesy.
PS Andy if you find any level where I have a top score and haven’t posted a screenshot please let me or the admins know so I can post it. Thanks
@gumby
Yeah right 😂😂😂
Excellent post. I’m facing many of these issues as well..
