Our strategy for Poached Eggs level 2-15 is to fire the first two White birds just above the left tower, bombing as late as possible. Keep the birds low so they ricochet into the middle tower. In the video, we are extremely lucky and manage a two-bird clear, but there are a few extra White birds if needed. The score in the video below is 73,430.
Version 2022:
i did exactly as the walkthrough says and i got it in one shot. score:88,060
How do you get the chests????
Don’t need to. Only 500 points each.
Exactly how noam got it, same as video but debris broke the wooden plank, exploding the TNT and eliminating all pigs!
Is the top score for this level legit? Its a big 8k away from second place. Sorry for doubting, but it seems like a really large gap.
There are enough blocks and extras on this level for this kind of score, I think.
Just got 88380 on facebook. Somehow with one bird, everythink was in air and even didnt realized how fast everythink was demolished…
I think sal’s correct, Kart. Destructible items on this level worth around 75k (including piggies, excluding both “hard to reach” bottom left and right treasures behind the pillars). A 1-birder solution can yield as much as 115k with total destruction which i personally think not possible, but impossible is nothing, right… ;)
Kart, what kind of bird food do you feed your birds? Mine don’t want to do what yours did. At least I improved, will keep trying. By the way nice score! :)
Thanks! Sort of how Slim got his 2 birder, but the hard-to-hit pig on the bottom left got popped by a rock. :)
Score:89,340
My first comment ever. One shot very low directly at the left column just above the small block. Dropped the egg bomb just before impact. The carcas took out the top and caused it to collapse inward taking out the center pig. The collapse continued down setting off the TNT… BOOM…. Everything went.
Here is a video showing your strategy.
Thanks so much for this video! I improved by 24k after watching it. Who knew all those points were there? I think I have to go back and look at all of these early levels and see what else I can do. Thanks again.
I got a 16k improvement with this method. However, I believe it worth noting that the 1-bird method is far harder than it appears, as the sweet spot seems to be extremely small. Just a small complaint on my part, as that extra 16k is still pretty sweet.
Whoever (theater333) makes these videos has some very creative (and effective) techniques. I’ve always been impressed by her/his work.
I turn to them (?) a lot too for new perspectives. They’ve only done vids for ABO and ABR – I wish they covered Space and Seasons also. No disrespect to the team here – ABN videos and strats are the first place to look!
Me too, @playdbird. In fact, I always forget about other videos unless someone posts it here first!
These stick in memory because of the curtains at the opening. Creative names, too. . .
@doctonynyc – did you know they have their own site?
http://www.theater333.com/
When I need to track down an alternative way to approach a level I turn to (in no particular order):
ABN
@e-star ‘s vids
@yuriyigolkin ‘s vids
Theatre333 vids
And the names are creative ;-)
@playdbird
I stumbled upon the website a couple of weeks ago. Like you, I wish they covered the other apps, too.
It sounds like we look to the same videos when we are looking to improve our scores. @estar has some really amazing videos! Yuriyigolkin does, too (I wish he would share more on ABN).
I will occasionally look at hathman23, although it seems like those were very high scores a year or two ago. The newer stuff, not so much. To hathman23’s credit, s/he stopped used techno music for the videos. They always made me feel like I was In disco on South Beach in the mid 1980s!
This is a great strategy- increased my score almost 17k on first try.
Tis seems like an impossible shot….but based on the scores list, so many people have done it. Must keep trying, must keep trying….
A case of “whine and you shall a receive”….ten minutes after declaring this impossible, got the one birder. Yea, now time for me to move on. Not so fond of this level.
Thanks to you, I finally got my one-birder for an awesome score. Your strats always helps raise my “average” scores.
after many many tries i got this very score hehehehe
Followed the ABN video.
Obtained the 1-bird solution twice but the end bird on the left remained and then the end bird on the right remained. The debris seems to be the deciding factor.
Thanks for the 2 bird strat. Took awhile to get it though.
Woo hoo 10k imprivemeng following. video :)
Wow!!! i am having zero luck with this level. I managed to get 72670 but it took me four birds!!!
Don’t remember seeing too many levels like this where the top score is so high above 3* score or the average. Such a huge range. The 1-bird method is so difficult, hundreds of flings have failed for me. It must be a microscopic sweet spot to take everything out in one, I actually struggle to do it with 2 birds half the time.
Alternate strategy…..Aim the first bird as low as is possible. Activate so that the egg drops on the two pigs below and the hen flies into either the top small block or larger block underneath. If the hen hits the top block, often she will go up in the air and take out the right hand pig. If you can get the board to collapse with the second shot, you are almost assured of taking out the one remaining bottom pig and a score in the lower to mid 70 thousands. I have no perfect answer to where the second shot should be placed. If you hit the bigger block, a one birder is possible. I did it a couple of times. The scores I had for a one birders was about the same as the two birders.
@stocktoad‘s strat is by far the best one to obtain a 1-birder for me. Doesn’t need to be exactly precise “just before impact” tap for rigid fingers of mine LOL… :D
I like this method too, at least for a consistent high 2-bird score. Don’t know if it can produce better 1-bird scores than going directly to the tower… But I wouldn’t mind proving it so :)
After many many tries finally I got a 1 birder with a score above the 80k
Great video… boosted my score almost 10K!
Which vid? The ABN vidvor the one Trev shared?
For those who won’t mind having only around 80k like me (and at the same time having trouble finding the exact moment to release the egg, like me, sadly), well, just fling and watch. It’s all about knowing what we aim to do for a 1-birder. Dislodge one square stone (the one on the right, of course, by hitting the one on the left considering we’re all throwing hell to the piggies from the left? Fine, forget the last part) of two above a rectangular one on top of the left Romanesque pillar off its place and everything above it will pour down. Without destroying anything (we didn’t release the egg, remember?), we’ll have seven pieces of stone down at the explosive. And more stones means more chance of hitting those pesky pigs. Happens at least once every 10 tries or so for me… :)
Got the 1-birder for a measly 76k. This is twice today I finally got the 1-birder (once on another level) and got very little for all my effort. The first I could handle, but this one just made me…well…angry!
I managed to raise my score by about 11000 points but I’m not yet satisfied with that, so I’m going to try the method suggested by @stocktoad and see what happens. The 1-Birder eludes me on this level, there’s always 1 Pig left.
Has anyone noticed the imploding trophy in the bottom left corner, that ranges from 980 to 1020 points at the start of the level without even flinging a bird!
Thanks to you, I finally got my one-birder for an awesome score!
I got my score with a one-birder using the strategy above…bombing the left tower and catching the rest of the tower with a ricochet. I had made this same shot hundreds of times, but for some reason this one was different. The entire upper structure collapses and the cascading debris took out everything below. It was a sight to behold, and I doubt I will ever be able to repeat it.
Just got the 1-birder using dembullock’s strat. If anyone like me has 0 aiming ability and is having difficulty aiming the white bird consistently: zoom fully in then pull to just below horizontal and the top of the slingshot’s strap should go through his pupil, ideally 1/4 – 1/2 the way up. Nice consistent low shot. Then ‘just’ release the bomb at the last minute and watch the whole thing fall.
Disclaimer: there is no guarantee you’ll manage to hit the bomb before the bird hits the wall, and if you do there’s no guarantee the debris’ll collapse to hit the wooden plank. And if it hits the wooden plank it may not break it, and if you get the TNT you may not get all the birds… Guess it’s a rinse and repeat one.
I achieved 1-birder! It’s a miracle!!
The one-birder is very difficult – there is a much easier 3 birder that can get a score into the low-mid 80000s. If you look carefully the central stone and pillar structure is slightly offset to the right leaving a tiny bit of flat platform on the left hand side exposed.
Bird 1: High arc and land egg on the tiny bit of platform. Stones will topple below and destroy pigs on left hand side, left most pillar will be exposed.
Bird 2: High arc and explode left hand pillar, the pillar and the stones above will fall through the wood and detonate the TNT. Usually this will leave just 1 or 2 pigs on the right hand side. If all pigs are destroyed then scores up to 80000 are possible, however, it’s best at least one pig remains as the third bird can get more than 10000.
Bird 3: High arc and destroy right hand pillar which should be exposed. Remaining stones fall down onto remaining pigs and are themselves destoyed, giving a better return than the two-birder.
Birds 1 and 2 are repeatable almost 100% of the time – the remaining luck is exposing the right hand pillar and having only pigs on the right hand side remaining – this is perhaps 1 in 20 luck, not 1 in 1000 luck.
196150 with 2 birds.
The video strategy is good but a second Matilda sent along the same path and triggered just before hitting the pillar (beware, it’s larger than it looks) can push the right stone pile to the right for much more than 10k.
So here is the result after the first bird.
The difficult part is to kill the two pigs on the left.
And the final result after the second Matilda.
And the highscore screenshot.
Hope it helps.
many thx to @asher for great pictures
i used 3 birds
first high arc
here a video with 82k:

One of the worst levels. The egg bomb is nearly useless here.
I’ll stay at 66k. Getting near 80k or more would be unimaginable self torture.
This level is bit difficult for getting very lucky with Matildas egg bombs. There is many ways where this level can go wrong with getting really good scores. I was looking at the different strategies and I looked at the video, but I found my strategy the best. 1st bird aim the egg bomb right near towards the structure expect the egg Bomb should go down to the square piece of stone. This will allow for the little tower of stone pieces to fall down getting more points. Then Matilda will go up and knock the top stone pieces down breaking the piece of wood, then hitting the TNT. If your lucky enough you will pop all the pigs with 4 birds remaining. As a secondary option you could use a 2nd bird to go to the right most pillar and go near the hole where the stones drop on the TNT. Activate the egg bomb to hopefully destroy the pillar and the stacks of stone on top and on the right of the pillar. That should also lead to a very good score.
I knew I couldn’t get near any of those top scores. But when I was playing this level my goal was at least 90K. It took a long time and some patience to get this score, I found my strategy to work best which I mentioned above. It’s not one of the top scores on the leaderboard but I broke over 90K so I’m happy with my score :)
@discobeaks this is an interesting level in Classics. I never got a one-birder, and my two-bird scores were pretty low, but I did manage 91k with three birds. All three shots were high lobs, with the first one like the video and the other two taking out the left and right columns on the platforms with lucky debris fall. I take it your score was a one-birder, yes?
@hallieginsb Yep I think that’s how I did it. I can’t believe on some of these levels you actually managed to squeeze in some more points! Unfortunately my luck seems to have run out because I have not been able to even touch my own scores. You have really been coming in on a sweep through on Poached Eggs! Keep up the good work!
@discobeaks, yeah, I didn’t think there was much hope for score improvement with Classics in Poached Eggs until I saw the great scores you are posting. Thanks for showing the way! I think if you circle back later to some of these levels you’ll pick up some more points, and maybe some top scores, too.
