The best strategy for Mine and Dine level 16-12 is to loft the White bird to bomb the gap just left of the treasure chest. This is a very difficult shot, but it is possible, so keep trying! Lob the next Yellow bird into the wooden foot of the main structure to cause it to topple leftward and trigger the TNT. Use the Red birds as necessary to clear any remaining pigs. The score in the video below is 103,720.
Version 2022:
score 109150 – same as first bird in video but use second bird to knock rock onto explosives – all done with 2 birds
This technique works, scored 110400. Now let’s try another. Thank you. Ciao.
The first two times I tried this technique the middle part of the tower failed to … well … fail! The third time it all worked as you said and I got a score of 114600. So patience is key. Thanks!
119,010 with one bird – aim white bird at second hollow square below golden vase thing and the entire structure tumbles.
109880 using this method
117,440 with just the white bird.
Good and easy way to do it.
Very good demonstration of the Bloated Bird technique, thanks!
Thanks M_Pete. Improved my score by 4,000 pts.
Perfect!! Took a few attempts but got there in the end – thanks for sharing
I’ve been able to do your method @m_pete, but I cannot get more than 100k. I think it’s because I’m on an Android platform which doesn’t get as many points as on an iPad/iPhone. Good strat, though. Thank you!
119570 Thank you Lol I was trying the video forever Did this a few times and I got it! :-)
@m_pete, works pretty good, gotta try for higher score though, so I’ll give it a few more whacks. Thank you. Ciao.
This bloated bird method worked very well. Thanks for the strat!
Nice score @spurs01 ;-) Where are you having the Bloated Bird hit on the structure? Mine never does enough damage or knocks everything over! I am assuming this was a one birdie?
Thanks. It was a 1-birdie, yes. I aimed right at the hollow square below the golden “trophy.” I did it earlier for 118K plus missing TNT and then this detonating TNT. There’s room for more points, though, as a small bit of the middle part of the structure was still standing. Unfortunately, I am done for now. The last day of my vacation is being spent cleaning house. :-( Hope this helps you a bit!
Yes it does, Thank you @spurs01 ;-) I was trying to hit the second one down as that’s how I thought M_Pete’s strat says they got it but it wasn’t working out too well for me…so now I will try for that top one right under the trophy.
Enjoy your last vacation day…even if it is spent house cleaning, lol ;-)
Well, if I’d spent a little more time earlier in the week instead of working on the Challenge…it wouldn’t be such a chore. LOL! Happy Flinging!
4 1/2 years later and…130070 using your method, thanks @m_pete
114080/1
many thx to @m_pete for the great strat.
here my video:

Well I see nobody has spotted the FUN method so I will share with you all. 1st bird as in video … have scored 34K to 38K with this one. Now the fun bit…
2nd bird – A short distance into metal body of axe on left hand side. Just don’t hit the wood. The axe will flip over in a clockwise direction, set off the TNT which propels the axe and handle with great force into the main structure and also takes out the 2 pigs and amethyst nearby. Sometimes it smashes the long left hand wooden upright and it all comes down, sometimes the yellow bird carries on through and smashes that same upright.
Does not always work (sometimes wooden handle smashes or main structure is not hit in the right place) but does work a lot… have
just had 116K three times in 10 minutes by this method.
You probably will not better M_Pete’s 119K one birder this way but it is a pretty cool method all the same :-)
I did it roughly this way, too, only I used the yellow bird for cleanup of the right hand side and a red bird to flip over the axe. I agree it may not be higher scoring (I only got 109K), but it is definitely fun to watch!
I was using the method as shown in the video.
BUT when I shot the hen over to the gorge I could see it was falling short, so I dropped the egg just to the right of the big miner pig in the helmet (middle). The left wall fell left, everything went, the gold chalice fell right. the cement block beside the pig right fell right and very slowly the wall fell each pig rolled over, and pooof… and with one white bird! It seemed to unfold in slow motion. I have tried it again….and no luck.
Oh, the score was 117,230. Not fantastic, but very satisfying. Just love this game!! Things just don`t happen like you planned and this time it was even better.
Same method as Habanero, but everything fell (121500)…Very clever Habanero!!
Excellent, Habanero! I got 119,480 on my second try with the axe method. Thank you, thank you!
Yes, Habanero, I love the “bump the crane thing from behind” method. In fact, I got 112000 by using the white bird to knock the crane into the gorge by bumping it on the concrete base from behind. Much of the structure collapsed when the crane whipped around, and yellow bird cleaned up the straggler.
Alternate strategy worked great Habanero. After the first bird sometimes the right side of the left structure falls when the thick solid wood blocks move to the right. Only gained 1.5k but will take it and move on.
I’ve been using this method as well I just can’t get the main body to crumble all the way, very frustrating
Thank you @habanero! You’re right it was fun! Only got it to work well once and not as well you, but I’ll take it with a smile and run! FYI the above strat, don’t know how they all got such great scores? My white never got me above 95k, never enough damage! So thanks again for your cool strat! :)
I use @habanero‘s method. Thanks!
It is the image of the second bird.

Depending on the place where a yellow bird falls into, you can expect score up.
I made a hit the long left hand wooden upright and, in the case of me, got 117K. (the crystal of the right-side end was left…)
I’m getting 93,600 with white bird dipping low in far left opening and yellow on the right – 2 stars. Method above only gets me 80,000. Wth?
Wow – just got top score albeit by only 300pts – yippee. White bird just like the video. The right side fell and got the crystal and the left side slowly toppled taking out the crystal,tnt and caused alot of destruction. i’ve made that shot loads of times but never with this result – I was only trying to ME the level lol. Would be happy to send proof if someone could explain to a technically challenge 40 something how to capture a screenshot (I use a 2nd gen ipod touch).
You should be fine :)
Congrats on the top score.
ps: to take a screenshot -> hold the home button and the power button simultaneously.
Thanks sal9 – over 800 levels and finally got a top score :) – one of those ‘1 in a million’ shots I’ve read about. And thanks for for the screenshot tip – easy when you know how :). Have a great weekend
Congrats @ccman! The video method worked best for me too, after trying other ones mentioned here.
Same approach worked for me 122k!
I’m going back and trying to improve some pre-ABN scores and wound up with a combo plate on the two main alternate strats above for a pretty good score and fun too.
Hit the hollow wood block below the gold chalice and the whole right side fell slowly as it’s supposed to, but got a bad bounce and that far left piggie survived somehow. So I put YB on the stone triangle and got to have the fun of blowing up the tnt too!
I really hate leaving unexploded tnt anyway!
@ccman – An extremely belated Congrats on your 1st Number 1!!
I am not having any luck improving my score today, but I thought I would call attention to the strat of @just-joan which is kind of lost in the replies to @habanero . If you hit the crack just to the right of the middle helmet pig with the egg, you get pretty good results. My scores haven’t been good, but I had several one birders with the method.
@stocktoad, I had decent results smacking that crack per @just-joan … but one time the White Bird just cleared the gold chalice and I dropped the egg square on the helmet of the pig just to left of the target. Split the structure, just as before, but with better damage and a single pig remained on right side that Yellow Bird picked off – along with the chest and the crystal for bonus points. 118,000+ Aloha.
@surfcow ……I don’t know for sure, but even with the renowned bovine panoramic vision, you might be a little off on the shot placement. Just barely to the left of the helmet pig works pretty well. That may be where you dropped the egg.
@stocktoad, after further review the dudes in black and white have reversed the call on the field. Congratulations, you won the challenge and will not be charged a Power Up. The zebras changed their minds after checking out this high-tech, boviniacular image showing the exact point of release in a split-screen image MAD16-12.jpg released just moments ago to AngryBirdsNest by unknown conspirators. Indeed, if X marks the spot then the target is just left of dead center on the helmeted pig. Aloha.
Mr. @surfcow, after having read the above exchange of words between yourself and frogman I decided to repay this level a visit to see if your Registered, Trademarked and Copyrighted (X) was truly meritorious of such celebration.
I must hand it to you, it really works and it did so within the first 3 minutes of playing. Yesterday was a very trying day for me since I must have laid over a thousand eggs down the chasm, and all to no avail.
Today I’m spending it sitting on a cold water filled inner tube, lest my backside starts swelling from so many eggs laid. Thank you very much for sharing your method and Ciao.
You were right about @just-joan and the hidden strategy. I raced right by it. Gave it a try and went from just below average to current score. Thanks @stocktoad for the heads-up.
LOL kind of ancient history, this level. Glad the idea was a benefit to you. I am playing on two Ipods, two ipads, and the PC, I had to look to see what I was playing on back then, It was my old ipod.
Surf cow, I miss your poetry.. It has been a long time.
Now this is a good level!
Playing in AB Classics… thanks to @habanero for the “fun” method. First shot like everyone else, if I didn’t get 43,000+ I reset (I had several scores between 45,000 and 47,000). Second shot described above by habanero. I tried to have chuck glance off the top half of the metal handle so chuck would jump over the wood handle and cause extra damage on the left structure while the axe thing falls on the TNT and HOPEFULLY hits the lower leg of the left structure.

Well done @realfish, may need to revisit this to prove both of us right.
