Just yesterday, Rovio released their long-awaited official statement regarding the gameplay of Angry Birds Space, which will be arriving on iOS, Android, PC and Mac on March 22nd. (Be sure to check out that post since it contains a bunch of information about the goings-on in space.) Over the next week, Rovio and Samsung will be releasing “Introductory Videos” feature the birds from Angry Birds Space. These videos can be seen as they come online on the official space.angrybirds.com webpage.
Be sure to check back over the coming days to see all the goodies that Rovio has to offer. As a quick disclaimer, any names appearing in quotes are just placeholders for the time being. As the videos are released, the bird names will be finalized. Thanks to @jake for tipping us off about the early release.
Update: On March 14th, “The Daily” published an “Angry Birds Space Guide” app for iOS. It appears to be free, but we are not aware of any other ports at this time. The app itself is rather interesting, featuring behind-the-scenes videos at Rovio HQ. Also within the article is the official bird and pig names. They have been updated below as applicable. (Note: There is a little discrepancy within the video itself, so these names are still subject to change by March 22nd.) We manually note that the super ginormous pig within the “Cold Cuts” world seems to be named “Fat Pig”.
If you just can’t get enough of Angry Birds Space? Check out these other fine articles, each containing some awesome tidbits about what is to come:

- Massive Angry Birds Space Background Set

Lazer Bird — Grab the Wallpaper!
The Lazer Bird may remind you a bit of the Yellow bird, but he’s got “Super Vision”. After launching, trigger his “Super Power Strike” by tapping anywhere on the screen to redirect him. You will see crosshairs on the screen where you tapped and the Lazer Bird will turn and immediately accelerate toward the target. Hope you have good aim!
Red Bird — Grab the Wallpaper!
The Red Bird has received an upgrade from the three original apps. When the Red Bird emerged from the wormhole, he wears an “Über Mask”, which allows him to utilize the “Sling Scope” trajectory display. With this power, the Red Bird can plan his path to cause maximum destruction to the piggies’ space fortresses.
Terence (Big Brother) — Grab the Wallpaper!
Everyone’s favorite Big Brother, Terence, is back and madder than ever. Unlike the Red Bird and Lazer Bird, Terence hasn’t changed much. He’s still bulbous and can destroy large structures in a single bound fling. Before his journey into space Terence ate some bad bird seed, so he’s feeling a bit green. Okay, that’s a joke… but he is green.
Blue Birds — Grab the Wallpaper!
The Blue Birds have arrived in space, and their “conservation of mass”-defying tripling will now be tested in zero gravity and extremely cold temperatures. Based on gameplay footage, it even appears that the Blue Birds get a speed burst upon tripling, making them the perfect destructive means against any icy space junk.
Bomb — Grab the Wallpaper!
Bomb is extremely temperamental, and has a very very short fuse. Besides a slight name change and a superhero wardrobe, Bomb seems to be just as powerful as ever. Can bombs explode without air? Apparently, so random explosive space TNT beware!
Ice Bird — Grab the Wallpaper!
The Ice Bird is a completely new bird, the likes of which Earth has never seen. He recruited the Angry Birds to help recapture the “Eggsteroid”, which is where we will begin on the 22nd. The Ice Bird will freeze anything he touches, so pairing him with the Blue Birds is ideal.

This guide shows you some of the birds features from The Daily which is coming to tommorow in iTunes.
Slim- If you see the video you can actually see some bird’s name?
Looks like it. Very good find. I see:
Lazer Bird
Lightning Bird (formerly Blue Bird)
Ice Bomb Bird
Super Red Bird
Can’t read Big Bro or Black.
Also, can you confim that you see a gigantic Piggie too? Replaced by King Piggie?
Big Bro is Monster Bird I think.
Seems to be “Mega Pig”
I think I see more letters than that, Sal. Though it may be distorted on my iPad. I’ll break out the laptop to check. Also, Black seems to be Fire_____.
Firestone
Firebomb Bird.
Yes it’s Monster bird! Saw it in 360p on my Laptop.
Correction: “Mega Pork”?
OK, we’ll go with Monster Bird = Big Brother.
Sal you may be right: “Powerbomb” all one word?
I see Power, all right but confused over bomb. It looks a bit more words than bomb.
I’d say so. It’s don’t see a space there like the ice bomb.
I see Mega Pork too.
Yes it is Monster Bird.
Black looks like Power Bomb Bird
I’m sure black bird is firebomb bird.
That writing doesn’t look quite right. Too few letters.
I could read big brother and a bit of black
Big brother: monster bird
Bomb bird: fire (I think star, but all I know is it says fire.)
You should add all this to the post including Monster bird and Firestone.
I’m not convinced of “Firestone”. It doesn’t look right to me.
Hey guys, I moved this to the “Birds” page. I think it is more relevant here.
Just a question, if someone or you buys this guide tommorow will you post the content on ABN?
It needs to be purchased, so therefore I will get it, but not post it for free unless slim approves.
@iamMighty that would put ABN in a bad spot for copyright infringement.
Yes, both BirdLeader and I have the app.
Sorry, I misunderstood. No we cannot post the entire guide. However we can report on basic things that are mentioned within the guide.
The Daily app is free, at least for IPad. Not sure if it’s available for anything else.
Free for 2 weeks.
Well, maybe not. Looks like there might be only 2 or 3 weeks free : ( .
I first looked where it was and thought you removed it.
I see syper red bird too.
Syper? Not even a word.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Syper
1 definition on urban does not legitimacy make. I think “Super” makes far more sense.
Actually he might have meant to type ‘u’ instead of ‘y’
I think the birds name are:
super red bird
lighting bird
lazer bird
ice bomb bird
monster bird
powerbomb bird
also the pigs are:
basic pig
helmet pig
moustache pig
king pig
mega pork
thats my opinion
I agree except for the first two pigs. I think I see them as “Large Pig” and “Major Pig” (as in a Major from the Army).
Actually the video does say Basic pig and helmet pig. Their names will still stay the same.
I found a sneak peak at the ice bird’s video!: {link removed}
This is the same video we have been talking about. It is not a sneak peak at the Ice Bomb Bird’s video, but a sneak peak at The Daily’s video.
I also found a full look at the black bird at 0:02. Most of us didn’t know he looked like that. I sure didn’t!
ABN has many videos revealing gameplay here: https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/angry-birds-space-gameplay/
Not sure how you claim to have found it. We have been discussing this video for a couple hours.
Got the Daily app, looks like they changed the names a bit: (exact names)
The red bird-Red
The yellow bird-Lazer Bird
Big Brother Bird-The incredible Terence
The Black bird-Bomb
The blue birds-The Blues
Ice Bird
Pig names are:
Small and Medium Pigs
Major Pig
Moustache pig
Space King
Fat Pig
Looks like the red bird will have a sling scope.
Source: The Daily’s Angry Birds Space Guide
So they no longer have names such as Super Red Bird?
Thanks. Just got the app myself. Looking to see if there is enough for it’s own post, but so far I’m thinking no
I liked the video’s names better. Too bad.
Found out from the daily they will be making a movie for ABSpace!!!!!!! P.S. the guide is now on ipod
I doubt it, wouldn’t rovio make it. The stopped their last movie.
They are making a 3-minute short for AB:Space.
Their full-fledged feature film is still an active project, I believe.
2 things, the fat pig is called the NASA pig and how do you get angry birds on the daily?
I don’t think it’s called NASA pig.
On the video it says so. (the video we found the pig names on.)
I mean bird names on
Certainly doesn’t look like “NASA Pig” to me…. Looks like “Mega Pork” IMO.
I still question on how to read up on abss on the daily.
The Daily comes in IPad and Android versions. For the IPad, the app can be downloaded for free from the App Store, and it comes with a free 2-weel subscription. Not sure if the same is true for Android. Not clear to me if you have to pay extra to get AB guide.
It’s free for now on the IPad if you have the Daily app (also free for 2 wks). Does anyone know about the Android? The Daily is also supposed to be available for Android.
This e-mazagine, based on The Daily’s site, will come to Android on March 21. (I’m brand new to The Daily. I will have to download it later.)
I will buy this game. When does it come out?
March 22nd.
Can someone give a link to where you found the names?
The link is provided in the post.
ok. By the way… We should put up a special space theme for Angry birds nest. If so may i design it?
You would have to ask BirdLeader, but we are rather partial to our current appearance. We do have a space theme set up on our YouTube page, though.
Whoa! Is this another secret page? Meaning I didn’t know it existed. : ( Great page though, hope it brings in lots of new members. How well publicized is it?
Um, it’s publicized by every one of our videos, and our YouTube link atop every page. :)
Subtlety doesn’t work with me — I need something more obvious — at least a big red plushy thrown at my head ; ). Never occurred to me to click on the YouTube icon at the top of the page. Still don’t see how to link to that nice YouTube page from one of the walkthrough videos…
Click on the YouTube link in the bottom corner of the video, or click on the video title.
If I’m the only one who didn’t know about the You Tube page, feel free to ignore this. But, when I click on the YouTube link in the bottom corner of the video, or the video title, I just get the everyday, vanilla-flavored YouTube page, not the neat ABN page with ABOS theme. You can click on the Angry Birds Nest button above the video on the You Tube page, and it does take you to the ABN YouTube page, not back to ABN. Never would have thought to try that.
Well BirdLeader? what do you think?
How long can we have this app on our ipaf before we have to pay for it? Do we even have to pay for the Subscriptions
2 weeks, not sure how to look at abss though.
Not sure. It looks plain-free.
On the daily app it says the big brothers aka name is the incredible Terence
This is already said above.
im just wonder when angry burd space release for pc there only 2 epiosdes or what?
We aren’t sure at this time.
oh ok thanks guess we will koow abt it soon :)
The Daily’s guide to ABOS arrives on Android on March 21, according to their website.
New info from The Daily’s Birds in Space:
–ABs enter wormhole to get into outer space
–They enter phone booth in wormhole and come out with special powers
–Ice bird is entirely new character
–Extraterrestrial who joins up with ABs to save his home planet (Eggsteroid) from the space pigs
–Turns everything within blast radius into ice
–Red bird has super glasses that reveal secrets (like weaknesses)
–Bomb bird’s super power is a heat shock wave that incinerates any combustible material within blast radius
–Incredible Terence – May be able to destroy anything, so more powerful than previously? has monster yell
–Lazer bird goes straight after being tapped (like a laser – not affected by gravity in any noticeable way)
–Fat Pig – Does this pig grow as he is allowed to wander???
Reviews of videos I watched:
–Trailer: As far as I can tell this is just what is on YouTube
–Space Program: Ok, but nothing really new
–Drawing the action: Interesting insight into animation. Weekly shorts focusing on single character
–Music: interesting on how music composed
–Masters of mayhem: Interesting, some insight into gameplay
–Birds-eye view: Not all that interesting
–Space Exploration – Haven’t watched any yet
–What it’s like in space: interesting astronauts comments on space
–Strange attraction: Harvard astronomer talks about gravity – must watch unless you are already an expert
The Daily’s Birds in Space is also available free for IPhone. See AB facebook page or app store.
Who will be revealed next? (also there’s huge pig wuzzup with that?)
Not sure where to post thihs, but always wondered it: why are the AB pigs green?
Maybe they are green with envy, or they ate green eggs and ham?
Ha! Green eggs and ham!
@angrybirdy0420 The reason why the pigs are green is because of the swine flu epidemic in 2009.
Another Lazer Bird introduction video :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2GNb4ofDJM&feature=youtu.be
Hrm…. seems more official, but less informative than the one we have haha. Decisions decisions…
Thanks for sharing!
I think Rovio would be posting a new introductory video everyday ’til March 21 starting today. 6 days for 6 birds, and then ABoS is released!
Could very well be.
I hope Mario shows up.
Look here: {link removed} . A new video of the Lazer Bird from Rovio!
Already added above.
New video on space.angrybirds.com of the lazer bird!
Already added above
That was the video released by samsung. The one on space.angrybirds.com was released by Rovio.
In the paragraph, “(Official video from Rovio on YouTube.)”
If I Have android(Samsung Galaxy Ace) I will have in SPACE this special level’s?:)
AB:Space will indeed be released for Android, presumably via Android Market at least.
Okz.Sorry for my bad English!;D]
Since Rovio uploaded the Lazer Bird video today, they might upload the videos for the different birds in the next 5 days.
Red bird video released!!!
They also fixed the links on the AB space page.
Added!
Can’t help a little gripe — these videos don’t really give us any new info.
It gives us official names. That’s always good.
So, we’re gonna call it Red Bird now?
Geez, you should see the conversation I’m having with Rovio right now. It’s totally 4 employees laughing their butts off while “answering” my questions about its name. God, I love them.
the tgif effect lol
Haha, that sounds like a ton of fun! You must be really close to them to get answers like THAT! :D
Can you share any of the fun they’re having at your expense?
Can’t wait the other new birds videos!!!:)
