Our strategy for Mine and Dine level 17-5 is to fire the Blue bird head-on into the ice of the left structure, splitting as late as possible. Ideally, you would like to clear all pigs from the left side with this shot. Lob the Yellow bird into the left foot of the right structure, causing the central beams to lift and splitting the tower in two. If necessary, use the Red bird to topple the tower. The score in the video below is 96,690.
Version 2022:
There’s some instability in this level after the second shot (as shown in the video.) Keep your third bird unused, and the right tower will ofter collapse on its own. (109,160).
if you manage to hit the cement block with the yellow bird, then it pushes everything of the second structure in the right and it fells.
So you can make it with two birds
Thanks, this helped a ton! I could not get 3 stars with the video method
I agree, the yellow bird slamming into the stone block is my preferred method.. 2 birds and 104960 is my best so far here on my iPhone…
THANK YOU, thank you, thank you!
awesome! thanks!
Yea!!!! That worked great! Thanks!
@trishohara thank you for the alternate strat! Goodness this one take a while to get just right! But with this strat you will get over 100k if you keep at it! Gl
@trishohara, thank you, thank you, thank you!! worked like a charm, got me 104k!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried the video about a hundred times, but i always had to use three birds. first try with your strategy, 101 thousand! you saved my life man!
That worked out great! Instead of a high arc like in the video, I aimed the trajectory at a flatter angle so that it would hit the cement block at a stronger force. Thank you!
1 bird: 100150
Lucky shot like in the video but everthing got pushed of to the side.
One bird. 110440
First shot slightly higher than video
I got a 106650, by aiming the yellow bird a tad closer and pressing on it fairly higher up. I did not need the red bird.
I love your tutorials, by the way. They are really useful!
Does anyone recall how they got Total Destruction on this level using ME? I’m stuck on 98% and can’t see an alternative – could use a new perspective/strategy. Thanks!
Gosh, I can’t even remember playing it, but I have eagled it. You can’t just break down the near structure a little bit, like the vid, and throw the sardine can down in the hole in the middle?
Yep that’s what I’ve been trying :-) I guess it’s just a matter of many attempts…thanks!
I think I have a glitch—ABO v2.1.0 PC. Upon starting the level, the purple jewel in the middle of this level instantly breaks without any action to give me 3410 points.
same problem, and sometimes right tower fall down without any bird.
I don’t think “problem” is the correct word here.
1. Blue Bird like the video but splitting is different to obtain the goal of getting everything on the right side of the glass cross (in the middle) to fall right and the wood on the left side to fall left. There is a wedging effect that pushes to each side. This effect can also produce a one bird solution when only pushing to the right. First bird should get 35-41k+.
2. Yellow bird into the left side of the stone block to push everything to the right.
3. Red bird = bonus
The top of the far right structure above the long wood horizontal plank will fall to the right prior to launching any birds which yielded 26,710. Was able to obtain a one bird solution but resulted in 101,420 points.
thx to @wrw01 for details
here my video with two birds and 110k:

Needless to mention any strats since everybody has mentioned the same one over and over, but, with a lot of luck and splitting the Blue Bird at the very last moment before impacting the glass facing the sling, you’ll have a very rewarding and happy 1-Birder.
ps. after lots and lots of tries, that is.
I aimed the first shot just like the video but got more destruction. On the second shot, I aimed at, and hit the wooden plank just below the stone slab everyone else is talking about. All of the columns toppled like dominoes, getting me a score of almost 112,000.
Video for 106k. Let’s beat the top score here!
