I was given a Peterson Field Guide to Birds when I was seven years old and snapped, I love birds, it\u2019s just the way I'm wired. Since 1997, I've made it my goal to get paid to go birding. I'm an international professional speaker and storyteller, wrote the books Disapproving Rabbits, City Birds/Country Birds and 1001 Secrets Every Birder Should Know and I'm #32 in the Geek A Week Trading Card set. I also work part-time as a National Park Ranger. When I'm not digiscoping or banding birds, I'm an award-winning beekeeper.

But Angry Birds was sweeping that nation and as a die hard birder how could I not test it out? I waited until I didn't have hard deadlines and started playing it. The premise is that green pigs have stolen the birds' eggs and the birds launch an all out attack to annihilate the pigs. In turn, the pigs build elaborate forts and put on armor to guard against the furious birds hell bent on destruction. Kind of based in reality...wild boars would eat bird eggs if they found them...but I don't see any wild birds with the ability to explode and take down a fort of glass, rock and wood. You use a slingshot to launch the birds at the pigs and different birds have different abilities. Physics actually plays a part in the game as to how you launch the birds.

As I played the game, I tried to identify the birds. I wondered...what real birds are the Angry Birds based on? Here' my opinion, how does it compare with your thoughts on the id of the Angry Birds? Some are easy:

The Red Angry Bird is a Northern Cardinal--that's a total no brainer and makes sense. Having had more than one cardinal in my hand, that hard beak is no lie. They are truly angry birds and capable of nasty bites.

The Yellow Angry Bird is an American Goldfinch. In the game, it's special ability is to have sudden short bursts of speed. This would be something more suited to a Cooper's Hawk or Sharp-shinned Hawk but that's not as funny as tiny cute bird being angry and taking out big green pigs.

The Blue Angry Bird (that morphs into a flock of three birds when tapped) has been vexing me. It's tiny and all blue, so that makes me think Indigo Bunting...but that's the wrong shade of blue. Could it be a Mountain Bluebird? Or do we need to look at birds outside of North America and could it be an African Blue Flycatcher? It does have a slight crest and that is about the same color of blue. This bird's special ability is to break out into three birds when you tap the screen after launching it.

I think the Black Angry bird that explodes is based on a myna bird, most specifically, the Crested Myna. Look at the color scheme between the two. The Angry Birds version is more stylized but you can see the the little crest and the red and yellow. I think there might be some elements of the Common Hill Myna in there too. And that's a family of birds that always kind of looks angry anyway. Good thing the real life ones do not explode, it would make keeping them as pets incredibly dangerous.

The Green Angry Bird which acts like a boomerang in the game has got to be Emerald Toucanet, a bird that I've seen in Panama and Guatemala. Although, I didn't see actually do anything remotely boomerang like. But compared to the other birds in the game, it's smaller--like the toucanet and has a giant schnoz...or beak.

So those are my thoughts of the Angry Birds...how about you? Do you agree with the id? Incidentally, I linked to a trailer earlier for the movie Rio. Word from the producers is that an Angry Birds version of the birds in the movie will be coming so you can fling Spix Macaws, Red-crested Cardinals, Canaries and perhaps a Keel-billed Toucan. What really cool is that the game touches on the issue of illegal trapping for the pet bird trade. More awareness of that cannot be a bad thing.

I agree that this method makes learning much easier. Students understand and are interested crazy birds. One thing I noticed- Velocity should not be zero at the top of the arc, unless that is for y axis only. ff782bc1db
