**Matilda** (also known as the **White Bird**, **Egg Bird**, **Egg Beater Bird** or **Egg Bomber Bird**) is the secondary tritagonist in the Angry Birds series of games created by Rovio. She was introduced in 2009, as part of the original 5 birds of the flock. After her first appearance in Poached Eggs, Matilda has become a very prominent character in the installments that followed.

## Trivia

* **Matilda'**s physical appearance seems to be based on an egg shape, due to the egg it encases inside her body. This was proven when her body would shrivel up once the egg was released, however, this feature has been removed since newer games and toons (though it still happens in Angry Birds Rio).
* Matilda is the second-largest playable bird in the flock, next to Terence, but third if Bubbles is in his inflated form, or fourth if you count the Mighty Eagle.
* '***Matilda'***, Hal, Silver, and Stella are the only birds to not have any form of Space counterpart for Angry Birds Space
* Birds and corpses are impervious to eggs. If the player drops an egg on a corpse or a bird waiting their turn on the slingshot, the egg will bounce off.
* '***Matilda'***, as well as Hal and Bubbles, are the only Plush Toys with openable beaks.
* In the Summer Pignic animated short when Matilda is on the slingshot, Hal accidentally trips and knocks over the slingshot causing her to fling in a different direction. But strangely when she reaches the ground, instead of releasing her explosive egg as she does in every other game she stars in, she explodes right on the spot thus, leaving a small but noticeable crater.
* An early version of '***Matilda'*'**s toons look from the Mighty Eagle wallpaper made her look exactly like a chicken, in Summer Pignic, this is soon changed to her game sprite form.
* In The Angry Birds PC version, Matilda has a sound file where she drops the egg and her grunts. This proves more than she is a female in the early stages of the game due to the voice actor being a girl doing a grunt, however, it was seen in the trailer and got removed in the final game.
* Originally, one of **Matilda**'s cheeks became purple when she became a corpse (to look like a black eye). However, it was redesigned to look normal yellow.
* **Matilda** can play the saxophone, as seen in the Toons episode Epic Sax-Off. This makes her the 6th bird known to play an instrument, the others being Hal, Willow, Poppy, Dahlia, and Luca, in that order. She is followed by Red, Lollipop, Greenie then Galio
* Matilda was the first bird launched on a slingshot during the Great Egg War.
* **Matilda** has interacted friendly with most of the pigs, as seen in Epic-Sax-Off, Robo-Tilda and Cold Justice.
* Matilda, along with Red & one of the Blues, appear in the Angry Birds Toons episode Golditrotters, where she was slightly larger, had a larger beak with a buck tooth, & a broken head feather.
* Matilda can be seen fainting. Examples of this are in The Butterfly Effect & Angry Birds Comics Issue 9.
* Sometimes, when Matilda is shriveled up she is called "Meltilda".
