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 finally got it with one bird- after literally DAYS of trying. It was the only way I could 3-star this level, which drove me insane. I was away from home and without internet; got back, watched the walkthrough […]

I aimed at the third pig from the left and activated just before impact (to prevent bouncing). 100% first try.

I had trouble activating the SE quickly enough to prevent it bouncing away from the bubble, so I tried activating just before impact and achieved 100% destruction on my first try.
I wonder if this problem is […]

TY, @Vanoe! This strategy is great- 100% on first attempt.

I used a combination of the video and Angryboy’s 1st strategy: I allowed the bubbles to build up, then fired the first bird high to pop as many of them as possible. Then I waited until the bubbles built up again […]

I had the same problem with the can bouncing off the targeted structure. Your immediate activation tip worked like a charm. TY, @wrw01!

I got total destruction using the same strategy as the walkthrough. The only thing left intact was a hollow stone box, but it was badly cracked. (-:

Wow! Thanks, @E-Star. I was barely at the 3-star mark, and now I’m closing in on “average” (which is excellent for me). TY, TY, TY! (-:
