Our strategy for Mine and Dine level 16-11 is to fire the Red bird through the rope holding the suspended pig. The bird should bounce off the adjacent stalactite and trigger the TNT on the left. Toss the White bird head-on towards the middle structure, bombing as late as possible. To reach the pig in the top-right, arc the Yellow bird over the island atop the level, using the speed boost to sneak by. The score in the video below is 60,630.
Version 2022:
I went with a different method than the video. I feel like my method IS repeatable as it yielded consistent scores in the 80-85k range. I also realize there is some luck involved here, but there is also some good aim involved.
1st red bird – shoot straight ahead at the cart with the pig and the TNT on it. This will cause the cart to roll down the hill killing the pig on the cart and at the bottom of the hill. Sometimes the TNT explosion will damage the wood tower at the bottom of the hill as well.
White Bomber Bird – I shot this bird at a fairly high/steep angle or arch so that it goes over the floating grey rock and comes down just before the crane. Tap the screen, releasing the bomb on top of the pig on the right hand corner of the wooden structure. This will destroy the wood tower and kill those pigs. The white bird will then shoot up at about a 45 degree angle and will (hopefully) hit the crane arm and knock this over and to the left killing the pig and destroying the crane.
Yellow Bird – I shot this at a low angle, perhaps 30 degrees. Tap the screen just as the yellow bird levels out and will cut through the rope holding the last pig and then will cut through the stalactite/mite’s gaining additional points and destroying anything left at the bottom of the hill.
2nd Red Bird – 10,000 point bonus.
Score – 91,190.
I have a screen shot on my iPod touch of the the score if Bird Leader or anyone needs it. I just need someone to explain to me how to get it off my iPod onto this site. GOOD LUCK everyone!
Same method, but with a little more luck.
1st Bird shoot on the car (on the corner of the left stone). Red Bird landing on cart an roll down with it. with a little luck, the cart hits the middle tower an destroys it, with all pigs on it.
2nd Bird (white bomber). Shoot between the bottom an the floating rock. Destroy the wood that was left and hit (after releasing the bomb) the crane.
3rd bird, shoot an cut the rope and also the 4 stalactites.
One bird left – 10000 bonus yields a score of 94,920.
Tried nearly 3 Million times.
Thank you! Got lots of scores between 80-88k using this strat! :)
Thank you @DrMac77 ! This helped a lot!
Thanks @DrMac77! Revisiting a few M&D levels due to today’s challenge and knew I could improve on this one. Great strat!
First bird, shoot just above the ^ on the rope. You should hit a stalactite and bounce back hitting the tnt just as the swing is dropping. After the explosion the swing should be propelled into tower destroying everything on top of it. Don’t worry if you miss the bird at the bottom of the ramp, you get him with the third shot.
Second Bird, shoot between floating rock and what remains of tower. Tap when the white bird is just over the end of the wood, this will hit the arm of the crane causing it to lift back backwards. DO NOT WAIT TO SEE IF THE BIRD IN THE CRANES FALL. Tap screen and get ready for shot number three.
Third Bird, shoot near the top of the remaining stalactites. This should get missed bird and clean up a little more for extra points.
96,100 using this method.
What device did you do this on? I discovered exactly the same strategy, but on my iPhone 4 the score maxes out at about 85,000 with this method. I couldn’t possibly see where the extra 11,000 points might come from.
OK, I eventually got 97,230 on the iPhone 4. It looks like the keys to a high score are firstly to tip the crane right over the right hand cliff when detonating the white bird. Lots of points are scored when the falling pieces break up on hitting the ground off screen. Secondly, achieve maximum stalactite damage with the yellow bird. I’m not sure how, but this shot seems to add about 15,000 points to the final score if you get it right.
Thanks justnmar your method works brilliantly. Shame you don’t visit here anymore and didn’t record many scores. The secret is definitely the bit in capitals – don’t wait.
Let the kart with the big pig stop moving to the right and then launch the first Red Bird. Seemed that destruction of the middle wood structure was more consistant and often.
Also the third shot is not always necessary due the the destruction of the first two birds.
Woo-hoo!! Great strat@justnmar, I improved my score by 8k! Although @wrw01 says it may not be necessary, I think it all depends on what your score is after hitting the remnants of the wood tower and tipping the crane boom. I would’ve gotten about 20k less points if I didn’t get the remaining stalactites and more debris on the ground.
Great strat @justinmar! Thanks, and to add to what wrw01, said after the cart with TNT stops rolling to the right look closely at the chain holding the piggie your aiming for between the ^ and a little open link you can see above the ^ if you hit it just right the tower will fall for sure and the way is clear for white to go straight to the arm of the crane! Hope this helps narrow down exactly where to strike! GL
Great strategy! I got 101,350 with it. Two small things to add/help others.
First, if you don’t knock the wooden town right and leaning into the stone tower, you won’t be able to get the best angle on wb.
Second, all the extra points to get me past 96k came from some of the stone tower falling left and destroying most of the remaining wood from the wood tower.
Thanks for the great strategy! 20K+ more points in just a few tries!
This strat worked well for me, thanks justnmar. The first shot is a very low percentage shot, but if you don’t get the wood tower to topple, don’t give up. As long as the big stalactite is gone, you can thread the needle with Matilda and drop the egg over the right side of the wood tower. I’ve gotten over 88K doing this, but in the end my high score was obtained just like justnmar described.
thanks for the strat @justnmar, it worked like treat
Using justnmar’s method I finally achieved 96,160. I was with Ian and did not think this was doable on the iPhone 4, but lo and behold I finally got a little luck on my side. Can’t figure out how to post a screen shot though.
Hi Guys, It is possible, needs a lucky shot. i’ll be tuesday in the office, i’ll gone make a picture if my iphone with my highscore. Could anyone tell me, how i can post a pic? Thanks for your answers. Greetings from Switzerland!
Hey ImpalaSS, check out my comment here on how to post pics. I suggest a few, but any photo sharing site will suffice. I may build in a screenshot sharing option in the near future, but as of right now we have to rely on existing sites.
Hi Bird Leader,
thanks for your help. Found a good site. Here’s the link to my score
on my iPhone 4:

Wish all of you a nice day
Two bird approach for 88k.
Need to wait a few seconds for the cart to roll to the right a little bit before firing first bird.
Red bird through the rope and first three stalactites, you have to aim high to get the little guy through the base of the stalactites. Platform with the pig on it should just clip the TNT as it falls, and falling stalactites should clean up most debris in the middle of the level. Score ~39k at this point.
White bird in a gentle arc that just goes below the one remaining stalactite, dropping bomb on the far right side of the wooden structure, then bird carcass tips crane over to the right.
Two bonus birds
Ok a bit of luck needed on first bird.
First bird as in video. Bounces back from stalactite and detonates tnt. Debris from explosion (sometimes) partly ruins wooden tower.
White bird straight on (under floating rock). Detonate it over possible remaining pigs in wooden tower. White bird itself will topple crane w last pig.

Might I say that it’s been a while since we had a challenge with Manu Malin ( @eweber ) as the top dog, but manu has been a top shooter for a long time. Even though the newer members might not recognize the name, I for one, was always very happy if I ever beat his score on anything. He was a legend in his own time.
I’ve been tossing the strategy posted by @justnmar to slowly increase my score, but I can’t imagine how it can yield results approaching Manu’s top score. I wish Manu Malin ( @eweber ) could post the strategy used to obtain it, but unfortunately I notice he hasn’t been to the Nest for a number of months.
Knowing Manu a little bit he probably managed to bounce the deflated white off the crane into the remaining stalactites for a nice twobirder.
I may have stalled out on this level not having increased my best score for quite a few flings now. At what point do you throw in the towel? It doesn’t appear anyone else is making a run at it either so perhaps being Friday the 13th, the Angry Birds just aren’t handing out any “Lucky Shots” today…..
Ah….@uncle-b I didn’t realize it was this close to Valentines Day…..yet another reason to throw in the towel..no lucky friday the 13th flings are likely to happen.
here a video with 101k, perhaps it can helps.
first in the rope and stalactite
second to last tower and hit
third to stalactite, bird fall down, stalactite fall to stones
the stones in the middle the secret?
i don´t know.
i am tired, hard day, good night all

120530/3 for significant high score using Classic. Not added to leaderboard. Can’t remember exact sequence but did put particular effort into destroying all stalactites. Do these give more destruction in Classic?
@desperate-dan, i improved from 92k to 116k with 3 birds.
Red – to first stalactite -aiming for the bump on the left side – causes red to bounce back to left taking out tnt and bird on the sled. and something takes out most of the wood on the right side.
Matilda – to the far right taking out the remaining wood and bouncing up to take out the far right pig.
Yellow – quickly or the level will time out – to the remaining stalactites
Final Red bird for a bonus 10k
I used this strat in Classics for 125k. The key was the second shot. I went fairly low so that Matilda struck the stone crane low on the left side and most of the crane fell to the left damaging a lot of the wood in the middle. As it happened the bottom left helmet pig survived the first two shots so I had time to set up Chuck for the best outcome.

Just like @sparty83 described above with @hallieginsb‘s tweak. I know 129,000 to 130,000 is possible because I had almost 114,000 with 1 pig and 2 birds left on one of my flings, frustrating!

131139/3
@realfish is correct, over 130k is possible with patience and luck using the method described. How much more than this is not clear, but I suppose 1 or 2 k could be achievable.
