Trivia

• On the Pig Days map, a mooncake with a candle is shown, for the 4th anniversary of AngryBirdsNest.
• It is the second game that a Fat Pig appears outside of "Angry Birds Space" and the third appearance of "El Porkador!".
• It is the second game to have alliteration in the background levels.
• Ever since the Summer Camp update, Pig Days is located in the 2016 section (despite being released in 2014 so it should have been in the 2014 section), shows how many stars, coins, and feathers the player has achieved, and hasn't had a new level added since World Milk Day, indicating that it has ended.
• All levels have the same ambience regardless of the background or theme selected.
• If played without Internet connection before some levels being unlocked, all of the levels would be unlocked and could be played normally, but if played with an internet connection, the levels would be locked again and no scores would be saved.
• It is not recommended to use the Shockwave power-up in the William Tell Day because it will not get close enough to reach the pig at the end of the screen.
