Angry Birds Stella Level 9 Episode 2 Walkthrough

I’ve just learned Swaps work differently in Stella. At level start, before flinging Poppy, I accidentally got a Dahlia character swap while cleaning my screen. Poppy did not disappear. She hopped down to the ground, and the remaining birds made room for her. Then, Dahlia appeared in the sling! Apparently, if you swap a bird, the bird is added to the front of the lineup!. This means you can clear a level without ever using any birds from your original lineup, and get the 10k bonus for all of them.

note: Rovio has confirmed this is how swaps operate in Stella. It is not a bug.

Since swaps are allowed, and this level has been difficult, I flung Dahlia into the middle of the stone structure, which was totally destroyed. I now have a legal 107k high score that I won’t post.

@dawn-nelson did you also use a swap to get your great score? Or do you have any tips on your strategy? This is a hard level to 3*, even with the good video method.
