One strategy for Angry Birds Surf and Turf level 36 is to fire the Blue bird toward the upper structure, splitting so to break the ice block on the left half and to push the blocks on the right half onto the TNT below. The explosion should clear the entire right half of the level. Then use the Yellow bird to break the two wooden blocks in the bottom-left, causing the entire structure to collapse. The score in the video below is 117,110 with a lot of debris left over.
Version 2022:
Hi everyone,
the 3-Star Score does not seem to be that high. I just scored 118570 and got 3 Stars.
Same strat as shown in video. Debris from top and TNT took out lower structure on right and right side of left structure. After second bird there was some debris left, so unless there is a 1-bird solution, @145K may be top score.
I don’t think a one bird solution can get the amount of destruction you’ll need to get very high scores. I 1 birded this level twice, once scoring 117k and the other a 2 star score of 114k.
@amslimfordy just got 3 stars with 116270
115930 is 2* so I believe we can confirm the 3 star score as 116k.
125340….the frustration level was high as I kept missing wooden blocks with 2nd bird, so I just kept launching blue bird without looking where they were going. Then I would launch the yellow one and if he didn’t hit the wooden blocks—reset. Finally after the 10th or 11th reset everything fell together, pun intended. Thank you everyone for all your input and alternative flight plans, they help a lot.
My frustration levels also rise when playing this episode, I too have missed the wood blocks when they would have counted the most, but, don’t despair, the game does that on purpose to force you to try harder.
This game is actually semi-intelligent, it makes you miss shots that are aimed exactly as when you’ve hit your target previously or when you use the White Bird it’ll prevent you from dropping the egg intentionally, and how about when you miss the last shot and the score will always have been much higher, but when you eventually win the score is not quite as high.
These are all little intricacies of the games that are all placed purposefully by the designers of the game to have more losing scenarios than winning ones.
I know what you mean @werewolf69! I would get may be 74-76k with the first shot and then totally choked on getting those wood blocks. SO frustrating to say the least!
Same exact strategy as the video. Now trying to improve above the average score.
Same exact strategy as per the video as well but got a very good fall of the right structure with barely nothing left and 93k after the first bird. Second bird straight to the two pieces of wood at the bottom left of the remaining structure and keep fingers crossed for a lot of damage as well of the left structure –> 136870 after second bird. 1 bird remaining –> +10000 points. Good luck!

Played this level a few hundred times. The video method is the best strategy that I can see. This is again a level were you need a lot of patience and a whole lot of luck to do enough destruction to rack up the really high scores some have achieved here. The one thing I would like to emphasize is to make sure your 1st bird scores above the 70k mark. Just like the video, split the bird so the top secondary bird clears the stone triangle. The other 2 secondary birds need to get that stone to drop into the debris below, hopefully scoring enough points. It’s a pretty easy 3 star level but a pretty tough level to score above 130k on. Good Luck.
@pjdambra, you’re right about getting at least 70k with the first shot. I was lucky and got 78k when I split blue bird. Most of the bottom structure was destroyed by the falling debris and the flying stone blocks. When I hit the two wood blocks with my second bird, the left side fell to the left and the top middle fell to the right which caused more debris destruction.
Nobody seems to have mentioned the exciting little blue blocks under the right tower (?) I was flinging the final bluebird just for fun after a mediocre first two birds, somehow triggered the blue blocks (I’m assuming it was those) and KA-ZAMM the whole caboodle went up. Very exciting, totally unexpected!
I suppose the high scorers must have got them, but I just thought it needed a mention…
@bikket I think your on to something! No I didn’t see a big explosion BUT I will say that a Huge amount of points are accumulated if you can break the barrier and get to the bottom pieces of glass! I’m quite sure that’s where the huge numbers are coming from on high scores, eh along with a good crash of the left side but you can get upwards of 90k+ just from that first shot if done right! Too darn bad I miffed the second shot!! :( Ahhh well it hasn’t stopped me from trying just proved the big points are there if I can ever get both shots to work At The Same Time!! ;)
Ooopsy my spelling is appalling my apologies @bikkit!! :(
Getting above 125k is rare and tricky, but shooting and split timing helps when finding just the right fallout with the first bird. Split about 3/4 of the way before it hits the top island structure and make sure the bottom bird breaks the horizontal glass piece, middle the vertical glass, and the last one to push the 2nd half to fall on the TNT.
Very nearly had a one birder on this so I believe it is possible. First bird same as video. The left part of the left structure then lifted up, seemingly all by itself, but it may have been caused by the first bird. There was then a partial collapse on that side and almost everything went. The left most pig rolled left but just couldn’t bring itself to commit seppuku! Shame as that would have been in the 147k region.
OK. Got the one birder so it can be done but it only yielded 115k. However to my utter exasperation a previous attempt would have got me 150k if I hadn’t been impatient. The left side didn’t appear to be collapsing but just as I fired the yellow bird it did. Ouch!!
My method, which is quite tedious and time consuming is to fire the BB at 40% ish and split it early. Bottom bird hits front edge of glass on top tower, middle bird hits hits centre glass. With luck middle bird bounces back and hits glass on right side bottom of left tower (I wish I knew how to upload a video)and concrete triangle from top falls and causes a lot of damage. Meantime left structure collapses. Simples!
One more element. The left hand structure will periodically partially self destruct. It takes a while and then it starts to wobble. Higher score? Early days yet.
Followed the ABN video but on the second shot with the Yellow Bird the right bottom structure’s two wood planks broke and the tiny glass blocks provided extra points.
Obtained a 1 bird solution for 123,940. When the Blue Bird split, two went high and one went lot. Debris from the upper structure hit the left structure and started its fall.
I got 130250 just like the video..could have been much more,:( i had 87k after first bird everything on the right was cleared..Then…i missed the wooden blocks at the bottom of left structure..my luck!!! But the ‘e ‘ L factor did kick in and the structure shifted enough to pop the piggies:) Lots of leftover debris…good luck all
Ice cubes, this level is all about ice cubes…
If you want to score high you must, one way or another, get to the dozen ice cubes lying in the middle.
Since you can not go directly at them (or you loose the ability to topple the two small sentry boxes on top of them), you must make do with the first bird.
To simplify things, you have almost no control over what will happen down there. However you can, to some extent, control the sequence of the fallout of the sentry boxes and the explosion of the 3 TNT boxes.
If the TNT boxes explodes too soon, they are less effective than when the left sentry box has already damaged to middle structure protecting the ice cubes.
Anyway, here is the trajectory I have been using to delay as much as possible the explosion of the TNT boxes: http://angrybir.de/169QH4v
The top bird must go over the roof to topple the right sentry box, the middle one must damage (but not break) the vertical glass protecting the left one, and the bottom bird must damage the glass plank.
With a very lucky shot, you might end up with something like this: http://angrybir.de/169Rm5U
Then the second bird is shot as in the video and here is the result:
http://angrybir.de/169RHFM
And here is the highscore screenshot for my current top score: http://angrybir.de/169RTVt
Not much left. Julian13100 highscore is quite safe ;-)
Hope it helps.
(BTW, I had not one self destruction of the left structure, so that option was out for me).
Followed your strat and finally ended with a new highscore.
First shot cleaned most of the right side and also some part of the tower, no ice cubes were left.
Second shot: tower collapsed perfectly to the right.
Many thanks for sharing your awful strategies, your detailed and clear description is very very helpful.
127900/2
great, many thx to @asher for strat. and pictures
here my video:
https://youtu.be/uRESX2QJ37c
I was trying @asher method for a few hours trying to improve on my 127000 score but wasn’t getting close to my old score, so I decided to try something else. first bird high arc to the thick vertical glass at the front of the second structure. It should come crashing down on the ice cubes giving a score in the low to mid 40s. Second bird just above the 2 pieces of wood at the front of the first structure, similar to the video. Score around 90000 Third bird like @asher s first bird. Final score 142350 currently #5
