As of Feb 2018, I tried the level about 40 times, and no self destruction.

Aiming red bird (one pixel down from horizontal) at the bottom of the leftmost blue bottle (rather than at the clipboard) splashes the blue potion over all 3 pigs and results in one triplet hitting the orange […]

I agree with @kelani that having one of the blue birds hit the right structure is crucial to a high score. It allows the stones to fall making it easier for the bottle to fall and incidentally often ignites the […]

Would love to knoow. I just spent 2 hours flinging and then 200 tosses with TNT exploding and no big bangs. But hard to prove a negative.

Thanks @Marc987. Your strategy gave me a one birder and my first top score ever. Everything exploded and then the right thin lower vertical slowly collapsed and the last pig died. (Would be happy to post a screen […]

And if you are tired of waiting for the illusive explosion, as I was after 2 days, ensure the first bird takes out at least 3 (and preferably 4) of the hanging pigs (hit the left edge of the left table top and […]

Found this level extremely difficult. If right pig not dead after red bird, start again. (Note – I found it useful for white bird shot to have a small bit of rope left hanging.) The egg should be dropped so […]

Perfect instructions. TY

Same as video, but ensured the thin vertical (and preferably also the horizontal) wooden posts on left side were destroyed with first white bird, rightmost pig was dead and the hollow square immediately left of […]

@bastieroxxor – TY for the screen shot. Because of it I realized it was necessary to boost early to go horizontally through the square so the yb would get wedged and push the legs right.

I followed the video and missed with the boomerang bird only taking out the 2 topmost right pigs. BUT, the second shot, (like the video – about 1 click down from horizontal), which I had done hundreds of times […]

Strange but good – The screen wouldn’t close to acknowledge my new high score. Waited and looked again, and it had increase 40 points. A stone block is rocking on top of a hat and has now given me over 250 […]

And of course, NO powerups were used.

One bird to the large stone 3rd from the top (5th from the bottom) on the left, and everything fell perfectly.

@Nintendo-s-t-a-r It appears your video gave the best strat, but is it possible to upload it again as it is no longer available? Alternatively, can anyone describe the strat? Any help would be much appreciated.

@AMslimfordy and @dollarbill2208 – I do wonder if there are mixed messages here. The first strat discussed in many of the Surf and Turf levels is how to use powerups – yet they are not allowed. Would it be better […]

I had a higher score with 2 birds than with one. So if you have good destruction but one pig remains, fling the yellow rather than resetting.

I followed the @MVNLA2 strat, lowering one pixel rather than 3, but […]
