Flock Favorites 29-11, the boulder now falls right away without contact. Zero-birders happen about 10-15% of the time. Happening on both my old Samsung phone and my new Samsung tablet.

9 through 13 require you to use powerups. No such thing as a sans-powerup score here, so all’s fair I guess.

14 requires you to use 3 powerups. But can we use the other available powerups and still consider scores ABN-legit?

15 can be completed without powerups. Should we post only sans-powerup scores, or should all powerups be considered fair game on this level? (I’m guessing the latter, but we’ll need an official ruling.)

Mighty Hoax 4-17 maybe. My old high score was 35k, good for 260th place. Within a couple minutes today, I had two 40k scores, up to 44th place.

Scores seem to be higher on levels where breaking wood debris makes a difference. Wood being destroyed a little more easily now?

Flock Favorites 29-14 has gotten easier, I think.

This level has changed before. When FF first appeared, the high scores for 29-14 were mostly in the 160s up to 171k. Then an update changed this level, and suddenly the upper limit seemed to be around 145k. See kvetching on the level’s walkthrough page beginning around Dec 2014.

I must have been taking a break when FF came out, because my high score for this level has been 139k for years. But I tried it again today, and immediately topped 145k several times, with high so far of 152k.

Is Angry Birds Original still alive? It’s been 20 months since the last new levels. I assumed it was dead.
