Happy Birthday to both the Angry Birds and our very own @BirdLeader! Rovio has chosen to celebrate in the best way they know how: UPDATES! That’s right, Angry Birds v3.0.0 has just been released for iOS, PC, Mac, and Android via Google Play and the Amazon Appstore, with more platforms coming soon.
This update includes:
- 15 levels in Birdday Party! As a fun tidbit, the birds waiting to be flung are all wearing conical birthday hats. Don’t let the festive look deceive you though: They are still very angry, and their cakes are dynamite! Our Birdday Party walkthroughs have been added to the existing category. These levels are Chapter 19.
- 15 levels in Bad Piggies! (The episode, not the app.) This is being called Chapter 21, with the first 15 levels in Chapter 20. We have made all relevant changes to our walkthroughs and leaderboards, so you should be able to navigate smoothly. Our walkthroughs are live, added to the existing Bad Piggies category.
- One new Golden Egg! Our Complete Guide has been updated, if you can’t find it on your own. As a hint: It’s not immediately visible!
- Stella!!!! Yes, the Pink Bird has landed for ABo and first appears in Birdday Party 19-1. Use her bubbly awesomeness to earn your stars!
- Full iPhone 5 compatibility!
- No new achievements. This is expected, as ABo is out of room on GameCenter.
- Power Ups: Still no distinction or differentiation that I can see, though if someone sees otherwise, please let us know.

Finally, one more big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the man himself: @BirdLeader!
Rovio calls Angry Birds Original (Classic) ABC. How should it be used when on the Nest? Does it matter, or is there proper etiquette?
I suppose I should change my avatar. It does look somewhat Halloweenish. @slimfordy looks so handsome in his winter attire. Happy birthday @birdleader.
We prefer ABo since ABC may be interpreted as Chrome. But if the risk of confusion is low, there’s no real problem.
Excellent point, as you can tell, I completely forgot about Google Chrome. Sorry Google users, my bad.
I logged out, and I see my wintry avatar. It is not nearly as cool as yours @slimfordy. Happy Holidays!
Anybody notice that the King Pig himself still doesn’t appear in the actual Birdday Party levels?
Oh well, maybe next year.
Maybe the secret Cake achievement in 18-15, along with either a)more secret cake achievements, b)’slices of cake’ rewarded for finishing each theme(or/and 3 stars), or c)all of them added together, make up a secret Cake level that is kind of like the Golden Mooncake level Angry Birds Seasons!!! Anyone found a secret cake achievement in any of the levels so far?!?!?
This looks awesome! I’ll be definitely getting this! Happy birdday @Birdleader, Angry Birds, Season’s Greedings 1-11, Wreck the Halls 1-11 and Winter Wonderham 1-11!
Maybe there will be another golden egg or two, or a secret cake golden egg!
Happy Birthday @Birdleader!
A couple subtle little changes you guys may not have noticed:
All birds now have Chrome/Rio sprites (except the Bomb bird when flying).
They redid World 6 background (Danger Above).
Surf and Turf is now classified as a bonus package.
What a FUN update!!! I am about half way through and it is quite refreshing to have some “Easy Breezy” levels to play ;-) Also they are the kind where using several birds scores higher than what we’ve been used to lately…trying to find the ultimate hard one birdies. What a very fun present Rovio gave us.
i luv this update its soo cute and girly awesome!!! I also luv the music dat plays during the levels its kinda romantic a little and the pink bird is awesome shes my third favorite i got her in plush form. Almost done with Birdday party then onto Bad Piggies levels :) gr8 job rovio
Woah, I watch the Nest like a hawk (no pun intended) for updates for weeks, and the one day I’m out and about this comes out? Well, I’m staying up late tonight XD
Oh, and Happy Birdday @BirdLeader!
But guys, before the update the first 15 Bad Piggies levels were 19-x, now they are 20-x, will you upload them again so we won’t get confused?
The changes have already been made.
re: the exploding TNT cakes in Birdday;;; What is it that’s coming out of the cakes? I can’t quite make it out on my iPhone.
Could be yeast or batter. Can’t really tell.
it looks like cream
Happy Birthday, Angry Birds and @BirdLeader!
Nice surprise, Rovio:)
Happy Birdday @birdleader– sorry it’s a bit belated.
is Stella available in the King Pig mode in pig version? it would be interesting to see it…
Yes with the pig complete with long eyelashes!!
yees! after some time I found her!! here’s the pic :)

First female Pig in the game!
Congrats on your third birthday @birdleader – you are mature for your age.
Haha! Zing… Nice one @playdbird.
Oops..sorry, I misread. If you’re three, you’re mature for your age. Since you’re probably at least 12 times that number (no offense if I’m wrong) you’re bordering on the immature side. Like most of us :-) Happy Birdday!
Hahaha!3rd Birthday!!!
Don’t know if anyone has mentioned this so plz excuse me if they have. I’ve noticed that when the orange bird deflates it does damage to the pigs and blocks it contacts. Don’t think it did that before.
Yes, there have been small tweaks to bird behavior in the 3.0.0 and 3.1.0 updates to ABo and ABS respectively.
Happy Birthday, Rovio and @BirdLeader!
And Happy Birdday Angry….I mean Happy Birds!
(And popping piggies)
PC update is out
Confirmed… :)
Thanks for the comment! i’m gonna download the update right now!
Thanks for the comment, im now playing the new levels and i love the new levels.
Happy Birthday Bird Leader, sorry for being late, just opened and read the post. Played a couple levels of Birdday Party without any videos/strategy assists and they are fun.
… Third Birdday Party finished 3 stared and feathered :-) Nice Levels!!!
Congratulations Angry birds happy birthday which turns 3 years! I apologize for being late
When new episodes for AB are out, I first complete every level, then I 3 star all levels, and finally I feather them. Who does the same?
This is exactly what I do too! I basically just power through all of the levels, go back to 3-star them (and watch a video if I’m stuck), then I bust out the eagle. :)
When complete the birthday episode, 2011 with 3 stars appeared the cake with the star on the home screen and when it appeared the new update still cake with star on the home screen but I wonder if when complete birthday 2012 levels what object represent the complete all 3 stars? It will be the same cake or other object?
Happy Bird-day or birdday.
Update: In the new version when you receive the same cake when you complete the 30 levels and the star when you complete the episode with 3 stars. if you are completed the episode of birdday party before the version 3.0.0 and you completed the last 15 levels, you view the same cake, when you complete the first 15 levels in version 3.0.0 you can see a cutscene defeating the moustache pig.
Still surprised the cutscenes still have the King Pig even if he’s not anywhere in Birrday Party.
With the update- shoot blue straight up. Activate his power. Look closely at their expressions. Flying with a corpe sprite? Hmmm…
It’s because the blue bird hitted by the Birthday Hat
Try it in any other level and zoom in. You get the same results.
They have always done that. With this update now with some chrome sprites, it’s more noticeable.
How does the update work with my Android? Help me please. Or mabye the update is not out in Android.
“Out for iOS, PC, and Android via Google Play”
so people with a kindle fire do not get update?
The update will land for Amazon soon.
Okay.Thanks for the info.
:( This update marks the end for ipod 1st & 2nd gen users (Not sure about 3rd).
The app description states: iPhone 3GS+, iPod Touch 3+, iPad; iOS 4.3+.
OK, I was going to update it, but it said something about an error on the Games Explorer and then it did a Rolling Back Action and completely unistalled ABO from my PC. I hate that….
Hello @absure
Seems that you have the same problem with me when I installing v2.3.0, eh? Is the error number is Error 1316? Or it saying “A network error occurred…….”? I think I could help you a little bit.
Yes it is. I made my pc be like it was before the update but abo wasn’t there.
I can play the PC Bad Piggies with no problems. The Birdday update is totally screwed up with streaming and launching issues. Anyone else having these problems?
Maybe you need to update the driver for your graphics card.
If that doesn´t work, try restarting your PC.
Where is the ‘repair’ option in the installer? The only two buttons I get/see are ‘run’ and ‘cancel’. I’m getting the Call stack error AFTER the game ran an update (ie it worked perfectly well first time, then it offered an update so I thought, “more levels” and installed it, basically ruining the program).
Reinstalling the game also doesn’t seem to help as it goes back to the same post update-error point.
I would highly recommend backing up progress, uninstall, restart your PC, then install again.
v3.0.0 Update landed on Amazon Appstore!
Thanks. Post and log updated.
