Orange Bird is a character in the Angry Birds series of games created by Rovio Entertainment. He was introduced late in 2011 and is the third bird not originally part of the Flock.

Personal Data

 * Name: Orange Bird
 * Known Aliases: Globe Bird, or the Balloon Bird
 * Group Affiliation: The Flock,The Flock in Space
 * Known Relatives: None
 * Best Friend: Blue Birds

Personality
Little is known about the Orange Bird's personality and demeanor at this time, although judging from his sprite sheet in the games, he appears to be quite cheerful and, from the Ham'o'ween Short Movie, oblivious to events happening around him. The only time he has gotten angry is when candy was stolen from him, hinting he has a gigantic appetite.

History
Little is known about Orange Bird’s history before he met The Flock. When first seen, he was inadvertently and obliviously kidnapped by Pigs while he ate their Halloween candy. The Blues were the first to see him and followed the Pigs in disguise to their fortress with the intent on rescuing him. However, Orange Bird was able to free himself and defeat the King Pig when the greedy pig attempted to eat the piece of candy he wanted to eat. This so enraged Orange Bird that he ballooned up to a ginormous size and pinned the King Pig.

The Pigs never rest in their quest to steal eggs and the Flock often has to retrieve their eggs on holidays and special occasions.

At an indeterminate time, the Flock was captured as rare birds and taken to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where they fought with Blu and Jewel and their friends against Nigel the cockatoo and Mauro and his marmosets. Orange Bird did not appear originally in Rio, but arrived much later after the others, so it is possible he was not kidnapped originally and made his way to Rio to help rescue The Flock.

In addition to Rio, Orange Bird has also traveled to China.

In another adventure, many of the Flock were whisked into Space via a wormhole, gained super powers and fought the Space King and the Space Pigs. White Bird and Boomerang bird appear to have been left behind on the island.

 * A very small amount of the Orange Bird is known in Angry Birds Space before he was released in the game. The knowledge about the Space Orange Bird is that he is known as the Cosmic Bird (or the Fan Alias of Atom Bird), and he has a Space Vest. In July, he made his way into space to help the Flock, or because of the smell of Utopian Candy.

Appearances
Orange Bird has appeared in the following games:
 * Angry Birds
 * Angry Birds Rio
 * Angry Birds Seasons
 * Angry Birds Space

Orange Bird first appeared in Angry Birds Seasons episode Ham'o'ween and has appeared sporadically since in Angry Birds Rio and the Classic Angry Birds games.

Ability
The Orange Bird inflates explosively like a balloon when a player taps the screen or clicks their mouse (depending on the version of the game they are playing) however, unlike the Black Bird, its expansion doesn't displace all the objects within its blast radius, rather, it forcefully expels the objects closest to it but objects just slightly hit at the extent of the inflation will barely move and even stay in place. This makes him most effective when he lands right next to the desired target, as even though it may hit objects further out, it does little to nothing against them.When an Orange Bird expands within an enclosed space or crevice smaller than itself, it will quickly push itself outward until it has room.

Although it expands to a huge size, its strength doesn't change when flying. When the player taps the screen while the bird is flying, it appears as it would cause great damage, but it does minimal damage when fired this way.

Note: Orange Bird will appear in any of the Web-based games, even if he appeared in the original episode prior to its addition to Angry Birds Chrome. The new sprite sheets is coming soon on October 21, 2012.

Trivia

 * It can destroy objects it comes into contact with while deflating.
 * The Orange Bird and the Boomerang Bird are the only birds to first appear kidnapped by the pigs.
 * This is the only Bird to actually have its sprite sheet separate from the other birds, similar to the Mighty Eagle.
 * Orange Bird is the only Bird to have 2 versions of plushes.
 * Orange Bird's launch and deflating sound is a slighty lower pitch in the PC version of Angry Birds.
 * Orange Bird is the smallest and biggest bird in The Flock so far (excluding the Mighty Eagle) . In the game, he is slightly smaller than a Red Bird and bigger than a Blue Bird, but in Ham'o'ween Short and most Facebook photos, he is smaller than Blue Bird.
 * He, along with the Blue Birds, are the only birds to be happy at most times.
 * In Angry Birds Space, he appears to be full of helium or hydragon when balloned up, as he floats upwards as soon as he is full size, untill he let's it out. This may be the reason that in all the games, he has very little weight, even when ballooned up.
 * He is the only bird without a Google Chrome sprite.
