A high score strategy for Angry Birds Surf and Turf level 17 is to fire the yellow bird down at the first tower taking it down completely. Now lob the white bird at a slight arch and time the egg bomb drop so the deflated white bird ricochets back up and knocks the boulders off the ledge. With a little luck the boulders will come crashing down and finish off the pigs. The score in the video below is 109,670.
Version 2022:
Fine. I opted to use the quake after the first shot. If you are extremely lucky, I think you can finish the level off this way, which I have done on Facebook, but not yet on ABO. I had to use second bird, and played it just like the video, which caused the other boulder to fall (the one that didn’t fall from using the quake). It’s a difficult shot that demands accuracy on the move. 111k.
@dollarbill2008 what do you mean by use the quake? The power up? Are we allowed to post scores using power ups? If so I quit ..I have the power ups with update but prefer to get score the old fashioned way by persistence and skill. Are you seriously using them?
@Kathy, did you notice that your inquiry went unanswered? I can tell you, No a very big No, we can’t post scores using Power-ups, although I believe that there are those that are, regardless of the House Rules. I’ve been reading through the posts made on these walkthrough pages and I’ve noticed that dollarbill2208 writes extensively about Power-Ups, perhaps it’s best to report this to @AMslimfordy, since he’s the one in charge of these matters.
@WereWolf69 thanks for reply..
I’m sure @dollarbill was just testing the water…paving the way..so to speak
and I give up as to your alias lol
I have wracked.my poor brain..and for the life of me my crs has completely taken over
unless you are the infamous surfcow..I remember the comment ..about the funnies…but…maybe I will never know unless you fess up lol….
Can’t ‘fess up, but, here’s another clue, you once misspelled my (now defunct) name and wrote me that you were very sorry and I wrote you concerned as to why you were apologizing so much.
ps. “Prehistoric Bird”.
ROFLMAO that’s quite a hint..and that it was on.the tip if my brain is funny .Pterodactyl. is pretty hard to spell @WereWolf69 ..:) lol;)
@Kathy, Finally, but now I see how your brain is funny, remember I asked you not to mention it? What the heck, I love you anyway.
@Kathy, I didn’t mention you in my reply, so just look above or below this comment for the reply.
I agree 100% with @kathy. No power ups. Based on skill and a lot of persistence! And i know you are not to post any power up scores on the score boards.
I have tried the power ups at of curiosity just to see what they are about. I found they tend to hurt my score more than help… I do much better without them.! I prefer to get my score the honest way.
@diannas :) thanks yep honesty its best and i believe a better challenge of my own skill..I’ve learned a lot about the 3 P’s Patience, Persistence, Practice
or why bother..good luck in your pursuit of the bacon ;)
Check out the forum The Bloated Pig a nice little virtual pub where flingers get together and chat..have a drink (virtual of course) and just some friendly sharing of life:)
First drink on the house..tell anyone there i sent ya:) also there is a no pu forum..where you can state your views on power ups ! Nice to meet ya:)
Thank you Kathy, I would love to join you all at The Bloated Pig. I have been following for a while and I read almost all comments. I feel like I already know most of the regular flingers. See you there!
same strategy: 114.380
I am playing this level just like above video 113340 so far. You don’t need bills earthquakes for this level !
Same start as video except I shot the second bird on a high arch to take out the base of second tower and topple the boulders.
I did not read your post prior to launching but essentially did the same technique with the first two birds. Seems that if the egg is drop when the white bird reaches the top of the tree line, the bird has a better chance to hit the 3 stones. The “L” factor also comes into play with the debris fall to get the pigs in the grass.
Nice score @wrw01 I am having quite the trouble with this one that little piggie hiding in the grass on the right wont die..:(
I haven’t whined yet..but its coming ;)
@kathy Ya I know what you mean. I feel the same way about 18-8 in Birdday Party. Been trying to get average for 5 days. This one is hard. What a challenge for the BP level of the day to try it for the one bird. Many have had success but it is not with me yet. Best of luck on this level, but you have skill and good eye hand coordination. A lot of your scores are good.
@wrw01 ty…but the whine is coming.
lol block your ears!
WHIINNNNNNEE..Help me OH please Angry Bird Goddess I beg of you:(!!
@kathy You did if for me. Five minutes ago it worked. I really owe ya. I think your whine just worked for me. I got it in one bird 18-8. Cannot believe it.
I sincerely hope the AB god shines on this level for you.
Lol @wrw01 congrats ;) I’m still praying I think the power ups are in the way:( oh wrll
Aww @sweetpea you’ll get it..your on the right track..a good wiine in the BP will definitely help;) good luck…
I feel your pain @kathy about that little piggie! I finally got him after the L-factor kicked in and short of launching my phone thru the window. WHHINNNNNNEEEEEE! looks like I’ll just have to go to the BP and take a double shot of Tres Generationes in my ‘rita to cool me off on this scorching hot day!
Thanks @wrw01, for the detailed insight! Had a hard time getting above average here, finally got 112k after a few tries after I read your strategy.
@kartflyer Glad to help and return the favor with the many times your tips, techniques assisted me.
This is exactly what I did, @Optik. I was going for the same strategy as the video, but “erred” on the second shot. I’m glad I did! This level was giving me fits! (-:
i reckon u can do this with 1 bird if very lucky,same first shot ,but when tower falls right u need a few bits to fly up abit on to the horizontal glass,and then a couple of peices on left side of roof fall and also hit glass ,and it starts to topple left ,and cement block takes out right bottom pig ,the few times this has happened the little well guarded pig on ground near middle base survived..got my score as per video ,with second bird bugging out at about roof hieght
http://youtu.be/cqhE3qPT-ZY
level 17
I just got the same high score (122,570) as you. View High Score Screenshot.
I used 2 birds also and as mentioned by @thetoddman23, the 2 boulders on the top right have to both fall down to get such high scores. It’s quite a frustrating level and I had to try many times to get this score.
I actually did do this level with one bird. Unfortunately I only scored 109k with it….
Thank you for the video @xebic88 :). Took Forever but I could at least See where I needed to hit those darn boulders, they just wouldn’t cooperate for a Looong time!! :/
Woo hoo thanks @xebic88 on my second trip around i stumbled across your video..got me a Nice score…ty ty (((( hugs))))
Hey there Missy @kathy What a xlent score ,u did exactly as u said u would months ago and came back and showed this level who,s Boss ,well done my sweet freind ,see u on the shooting range :))
Hey ty @xebic88 couldn’t done out without ya:) ,!! Happy flingin:)
Getting both of the boulders to fall down to the left is a pain, you have to send the second bird up to the right so it barely clears the ledge and hits the bottom boulder, if you hit the boulders too high the top boulder often goes flying off to the right and your score will be much lower.
Rapid Fire Variation — Same as video except launch second bird as quickly as possible. In best of circumstances, fallout from first and second birds will combine to cause additional debris destruction.
Thanks @PlayDBird I improved a little can’t break 109k..I found not using the boulders more helpful I got an extra 6k without them..;)
that little piggie in the grass on the right is killing me…
First bird into the wood wall of the first tower.
It crumbles, destroying a lot of the low middle structure.
Second bird into that debris, bounces up into second tower. Lucky that some of that debris fell on the rightmost pig.
I did not use the boulders at all. Didn’t see the benefit, but apparently others get some destruction from them.
Has anyone seen a partial collapse of first tower? It happened so quick..I shot yb before I realized it was falling the top vertical stone was falling to the left…
@Kathy — Haven’t seen any reports so far. If anyone sees partial collapse on this level, please post in forum on Self-Destroying Levels. If possible, list partial or total destruction, number of points. description, how often it happens, and length of time waiting after restart. Thanks.
@mvnla2 ty for reply..I am currently trying to keep restarting and see if it happens again will keep you posted ;)
Interesting — I tried ~50 restarts on iPad with no collapse. Also, just realized that you are talking about vertical stone on left tower?? Is left what you meant by first tower? From the settling that happens after restart, I would have guessed right tower or central structure???
Yes the leftmost tower the topmost vertical stone block..I have been restarting since last post haven’t seen it happen again. Maybe it was just. A quick glitch..hmmm
Boy these Surf n turf levels are proving to be difficult so far to get above average WITH OUT Power Ups. I got it just like video on several occasions but my scores were always in the 107K range. I also even got the second tower to fall with the first bird a few times like @xebic88 describes for an “almost” one birdie. I ended up getting two above average scores actually using Three birds. Basically same as video but the bottom right little hidden pig didn’t go with the second bird so I sent the third bird in anyway and got 110790 which is slightly above average so I’ll take it for now and move on. I’m sure I’ll have to come back though ;-)
Again against my own beliefs I have entered an under average score..I must move along :(
ty all for strats..tips etc…ill be back someday ;) I refuse to use powerups..and because there here ill probably never make average anywhere..:(very dissapointing..
you’ll get above average soon @kathy!
Ty for the vote of confidence @angryboy ;)
@kathy, I was feeling the same way…but I actually just got an above average score with out power ups, barely…see my post just above yours. and GL my friend ;-)
hi @lesleyg and @kathy @angryperson ..I firstly was wondering if the link I put up is working ,if not let me know and I will try and put it up again ,I only ask because I see quite a few comments here saying they where doing just as well without needing the stones to all drop ,I found until I got that shot that brings them down for maximum damage ,I could not get over average ..,I have yet to get the 1 birder ,and not sure if it would give higher score ,..hope the video helps happy hunting
@xebic88 ty for video..it is working I must have missed it in my frustration ..I will give it a shot;) thanks:)
First try 116790 following your video @xebic88 :) ty would have been more but I had a subborn piggie had to use 3 birds..but I can see ill get bettter..wish I saw that vid 3 days ago!!:) thanks again :)
I also just realized -if I hadn’t had that stubborn piggie I would have almost come close to high score:) lol ty for help..I wont try to beat you with your own strat:)
@xebic88 ;)
So glad it helped @kathy I could feel your frustration lol,I have enjoyed the high score for nigh on a week now which is plenty ,I reckon u would of had it if not for. 3rd bird …best of luck
Congrats on holding your place ;) maybe on my way back round ill be tempted to hang in for the challenge..for now I’m happy with above average and surfing through the rest..I hope there’s steak and lobster waiting at the end;)
Thanks for your helpful video.
Finally broke 120k – same first bird as video, second bird I shot at a lower angle and dropped the egg to the left of the blue horizontal piece of glass, got lucky enough that both boulders fell and all pigs were smashed.
Wow! My highest ABN rank ever! #2 at this moment. Everybody else, stop playing this level immediately so I can bask! I try to struggle along until I get 3another stars. Then I come here and usually am savagely disappointed how far below average I am! Sometimes I’m proud of myself to have discovered AMSlimfordy’s strategy. Then I read your comments and improve mightily. All that happened on this one. Took hours to position that 2nd white bird, but finally made it. Thanks all!
ROFLMAO ..yes we will all stop now @Lark. Bunting ..;) great score Congratulations ;)Did you use video or another posted strat? Either way Awesome..stop in the Bloated Pig to celebrate;) find us in the forum ..a drink on the house waiting for you;)
congrats ,great score @dbecker the person with the high score has yet to visit this page ,not that i question the validity ,but while he is not present this minute ,.u can certainly say it is the high score of the day for this level, well done
Thank you @xebic88. I am feeling accomplished. Great score yourself.
I spend the last 2 days on this level trying to improve my ranking.. This is a really tough level to score in the top 200. I read all the comments looking to maybe get a tip to improve, but it seems that the best method is the video method. All those 120k plus scorers don’t mention just what they did to attain those lofty scores?? (@kathy, among the others… ) I finally did improve some, 227 to 163, but I’m to frustrated to go on any further.
I do want to share one tip on how to increase your odds of getting both the large boulders to fall on the second shot. I use a spot on the horizon to trigger the bird. Flip the bird as high and far as possible and trigger it just at the spot on the horizon where what looks like a “shark fin” is. Focus on that spot only and you will consistently hit the bottom boulder and get them to fall at a higher percentage of shots.. Good Luck here, you will need all you can get…
I did almost exactly as in the video.. with a few tweaks to improve the score.
The first bird is aimed just above the horizontal wood plank, like this: http://angrybir.de/19Q8kpN
Once in a while, only a damaged barrel is remaining of the first tower.
The second bird is more tricky. In order to get really high scores, the carcass of the wb must hit the lower boulder such that:
– the boulders stay on the left side (none are thrown away to the right)
– the top boulder is propelled as far as possible along the incline, without going to the other side. This way, it will gain speed when going down, maximizing the damages
Here is a good trajectory for the second bird: http://angrybir.de/1eavJHm
And here is the resulting damages for my highscore: http://angrybir.de/19Q9YYg
A few debris are still available (especially from the first shot) so I guess that 127k is withing reach on this level.
Anyway, here is the highscore screen: http://angrybir.de/1eawlg0
Hope it helps.
thx to @asher for details and pictures
many thx to @xebic88 for the video
i use the same here
124900/2. Basically the @asher strat with one tweak. I found that hitting the left tower just below the plank yielded better results, at least for me. I fired Chuck straight and level, activating immediately. I never could get the three boulders to all fall to the left consistently with the second shot, but I got that to happen on just about all of my highest scores.
127720 with two birds.
Same strategy as before.
Here is the final result.
And this is the highscore screenshot.
All the screenshots are also available in high res here in one set.
@sweetp
this level was one that i had issues with then i finally figured it out
Here’s the video. More here maybe.

@sweetp for the puppy. Thanks
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/steviep147/album/picture/29954/
Very interesting level if using Classics. I have come close to a high score with each of 1, 2 or 3 birds. My current best score of 123k was with 3 birds.
126145/3
Makes me think 130k possible with 2 birds
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/desperate-dan/album/picture/29955/
@sweetp for puppy, thanks
Sorry, forgot strategy. First bird high on left hand tower, pushed most into centre. Second bird quite close to right hand tower, hit boulders bringing down one which caused tower to fall leaving one pig in the centre. Third bird to clear up.
And here is the better 2 bird version
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/desperate-dan/album/picture/29956/
I finally got a tablet that could play Classics games.
I used the same 2 shots as in the @steviep147 video.

Congrats to all of the new puppy owners !!
Good luck and happy flinging to all !!!
Well done. Not a fan of Classics / Red’s First Flight I’m afraid. They’ll be allowing Power Up scores next.
Not over your dead body, I guess ;-).
I also played in Classics, two birds just like the video posted by @steviep147 for 130k.
