- — Ice Bird, Angry Birds Space Comic
Ice Bird (also known as Ice Bomb) is a member of Space Flock and an ally of Red's flock who first appears in Angry Birds Space. He is an extraterrestrial companion to the Flock who helps them defeat the space pigs. He is the third original character to be introduced outside of the classic Angry Birds game.
Ice Bird appears exclusively to Angry Birds Space and its Reloaded remake, but he makes cameos in Angry Birds Friends (in the Lotus F1 Tournament as a poster), Angry Birds Lotus F1 Team, Angry Birds Journey (as a statue) and in Boba's Delivery as a gag.
Appearance
Ice Bird's body is a cube-shaped block of ice that seemingly cannot melt. He has two rectangular icicles that represent feathers on both his head and back, a long orange beak that is not made of ice, and reddish-brown eyebrows.
Snowball Bird
- Main article: Snowball Bird
Snowball Bird is an early design of Ice Bird, planned to be in Angry Birds Space. It is likely to be a version of Bomb as it strongly resembles him and would correlate with the gameplay as Ice Bird's ability is somewhat similar to Bomb's. This early design of Ice Bird appears in an unreleased Angry Birds Space .ipa file first discovered on December 16, 2023 from the "TestFlight Teraleak".
Personality
Ice Bird is a very mysterious character, and not much is known about his origins or why he came out of the Wormhole. He is very serious and hostile, and does not trust very easily. Despite this, he is very loyal to those close to him such as Red's flock as well as the eggsteroid.
Game appearances
Angry Birds Space
Ice Bird is first introduced when he falls out of a wormhole and crashes into Earth. He is initially hostile to the birds, out of the intention of protecting his Eggsteroid. However, their first encounter is interrupted when King Pig's ship bursts through the wormhole and captures the Eggsteroid, along with the flock's eggs. This event initiates Ice Bird to fly back into the wormhole, and the flock (consisting of Red, The Blues, Chuck, Bomb, and Terence) to follow them through the slingshot.
The flock encounter Ice Bird later on in the chapter Cold Cuts, where he is held in captivity by the pigs. Once freed, he convinces the Flock to help him in his quest to recover his Eggsteroid. According to promotional material, he intends on saving his home planet from the Space Pigs, though this planet is never expanded upon nor introduced.
In gameplay, he debuts in Cold Cuts 2-3 but he becomes playable in Cold Cuts 2-4. He explodes when his ability is triggered causing the objects in his proximity to be frozen into an ice/glass-like material. This ability can be triggered by the player or automatically, moments after first impact, similar to Bomb. Ice Bird's explosion doesn't directly damage any regular blocks or pigs, but will make them brittle and easier to break. His ability will also set off any explosive objects in range, such as TNT. Ice Bird and the Lightning Birds (the Blues) are often paired due to their compatibility.
Ice Bird does not appear in the episodes Brass Hogs and Solar System.
Angry Birds Friends
Ice Bird makes a cameo in the Lotus F1 Team Tournament on a poster in the background.
Angry Birds Lotus F1 Team
Ice Bird makes a cameo in the game on a flag on the level selection menu.
Angry Birds Go!
In 2018, before Angry Birds Go! was removed, a tweet unveiled a concept that was discovered by game designer Liz Edwards. She helped with concepts for an Angry Birds game, likely Angry Birds Go! based on the vehicles seen in the concepts. People asked if Ice Bird would be in Angry Birds Go! but she responded "I wish I knew! I don't have any information I was only an intern there for 3 weeks" Possibly having confirmed that he wouldn't appear in the game.[2]
Angry Birds Journey
A statue resembling him appears in the background of Ancient Ruins in Angry Birds Journey, implying that, if this is Ice Bird, he was once looked upon by the inhabitants of the land. However, there is no solid evidence that this is Ice Bird, as the only notable similarity between the two is the square shape (a common feature of ancient statues like this in real life).
Angry Birds Reloaded
Ice Bird initially appeared as a profile picture in Angry Birds Reloaded. However, Ice Bird's original face was a carryover from Chuck's. In July 2023, Ice Bird was brought into the game in the remastered Cold Cuts levels in the game. His gameplay hasn't changed since Angry birds space.
Animated Appearances
Angry Birds Space Origins Short Movie
Ice Bird, alongside the Eggsteroid that he was carrying, came out of a wormhole and crash-landed on Piggy Island where the Flock were curious about his appearance. However, after Red tapped him to see if he was alright, the Ice Bird immediately became hostile towards them by protecting the Eggstroid. Suddenly, a claw came through the wormhole and grabbed the Eggstroid alongside the Eggs. Furious, he went to the Slingshot and launched himself through the wormhole chasing after the UFO.
Boba's Delivery
When Boba Fett was trying to raise Han Solo from the carbonite chamber, he accidentally grabs an Ice Bird squeaky toy, before he throws it away and grabs Han Solo in carbonite. (Boba's Delivery)
