The strategy for Angry Birds Surf and Turf level 40 is obvious, but we warn you in advance that this is actually a very challenging level. The strategy is to send a Red bird through the thin vertical wooden block below the rightmost pig. This will cause the crane to fall down, popping pigs as it goes. The three-star threshold is rather high for this level, so a one-bird clear is very necessary, but even still could yield too few of points. Just keep at it and you’ll get your stars. The score in the video below is 62,230.
Version 2022:
I followed the text strategy exactly; fortunate with the debris fallout. Not sure how long this will last, but here is screenshot of high score.

With luck, I got the horizontal stone plank to roll off the back of the bird so it fell at the same time as the crane thingy. The momentum built up and before I knew it, decent amount of destruction. I’m sure my top score will be bested within a day or so.
I think I caught your “L” as the horizontal stone plank fell for me too @zipbird. This is one of those levels where you need tumbling debris to crash just right for you.
Thank you @zipbird for posting the observation about the horizontal stone plank with the pig on it. It seems the 4 stones above, the plank, the 2 wood blocks below and pylon all have to fall at the same time to have a chance to get into the 70k range. Made it three times past 70k and it seemed the arc of the trajectory was more of a line-drive pattern rather than a high lob.
one shot and boom 66k….
My first, and probably only, top score. Will enjoy my 15 minutes. Lol. Same strat as video, just a lot of luck. And 500 tries.
I followed the video’s instructions and was quickly rewarded, a classical 1-Birder.
Just like Slim states above, it’s necessary.
I 3-stared this about 30 times before I got something out of the mid-60’s. Since it tool all of 10 seconds to know if you were getting a great score or not, firing off 3 – 4 restarts a minute is easy to pull off.
I find levels like this very frustrating. The same shot 100 times and 100 different scores. Oh well, just keep flinging…
Agree. You just have to decide when to stop trying to improve your score!
True ~ True ~ True……………when to stop?
Confirmed 3 star score:
61200 = 2*
62310 = 3*
Awesome! The only level unconfirmed is S&T 42. I have 98k = 2* and 100k = 3* there.
@amslimfordy
I just finished 42 last night – I’ll go back and see if I can narrow that done for you.
Too late, looks like that’s already been confirmed. Now to try and finish off this episode!
Not that it helps your score – but the piggie on top of the first structure will sometimes fall over after about 30-60 seconds (I got distracted and noticed 5,110 before shooting). It happens about 1 in 10. Waited to see if anything else fell, but no luck.
one bird 62,510 by breaking the thin wood strip ABOVE the crane.
This has to be one of the most boring levels of S&T but if you get enough of the top stuff to fall down you can get into the 70k range, it’s just tedious to get there.
0-bird With quake. 771K.
I know @rat9 hangs out in space, but using his timeless technique of holding your to the just right worked out for me. Tongue between the teeth, 10 degrees left, slightly past lips.
Keep hammering away, it will fall eventually. IMHO the lower the throw, the more that will go
I aimed to hit the pulley wheel of the crane head on and little red follows through so as to destabilise the top right structure to fall right as well as everything else fall left for a one birder.
