How to get feathers in Angry Birds

Latest in the news on Angry Birds is that the makers of the game have now announced that it has been downloaded over 500 million times. Which also means the world has played over 200 years of Angry Birds. Now bad for a simple game.

 

So how do you collect feathers in Angry Birds

To get some achievements you need to have a certain number of feathers. You can collect feathers using the 'Mighty Eagle' and reaching 100 percent destruction. Only one feather can be earned per level. So when playing Angry Birds, Angry Birds Rio, Angry Birds Seasons, and Angry Birds Facebook, this is how to get feathers.

 

How to get feathers in Angry Birds

1. Complete one Angry Birds level

2. Replay that level and select the eagle eye icon next the pause button. Your slingshot will be loaded with a can of sardines

3. Use these sardines to shoot the pigs mocking you. A giant eagle will swoop down and cause destruction. 

4. Continue shooting these sardines until you have achieved 100 percent destruction. You will gain one feather.

5. Collect enough feathers to reach the achievements -- 50 for Feather Picker, 100 for Feather Collector and 200 for Feather Gatherer.

 

Mighty Eagle will help you skip the toughest obstacles, but there's a limit: you can only use the aid of Mighty Eagle to pass a level once per hour. In other words, when you pass a level with Mighty Eagle, you need to wait an hour to use him again to pass another level.

 

Is that all? Far from it! Mighty Eagle includes all new gameplay goals and achievements! In each level that you already cleared using the regular birds, you can smash away freely and try to fill up the destruction gauge! If you want to smash your way through every level leaving nothing behind, you have every incentive to do so!

Note: In Angry Birds seasons the might eagle is replaced with the might dragon and instead of feathers you will gain Red koi Fish. To gain more red Koi the same principal applies.
