"Angry Birds" Eagle Eye Freezes
The Mighty Eagle is an "Angry Birds" game addition that allows for instant completion of any level. This cheat may be used to get past a difficult level, or even to skip levels of the game. The Mighty Eagle icon, shaped like an Eagle Eye, appears on the "Angry Birds" screen adjacent to the Pause button. Occasionally the Eagle Eye icon will freeze, which is typically due to either usage restrictions or a game glitch.

Freezing Due To Use Restrictions
-
The Mighty Eagle can be used once every hour. When a player taps the Eagle Eye icon during live gameplay, the Mighty Eagle ability will be launched immediately. The player will then aim and shoot a sardine can to destroy all the enemies in the level, and a "Destruction Percentage" will be calculated. Once the Destruction Percentage is revealed, the Eagle Eye icon becomes frozen. The icon is frozen for the next hour of gameplay, and tapping it will have no effect.
Unfreezing Eagle Eye After Use
-
The "Angry Birds" game has an internal timer that calculates the hour required between Mighty Eagle uses. A strike will be drawn through the Eagle Eye icon, freezing it for that entire hour. The strike will automatically be removed as soon as the hour has passed. When the strike is removed from the Eagle Eye icon at the end of the hour, it will unfreeze and can be used once again.

Freezing Due To Game Glitches
-
The Eagle Eye icon may freeze due to a game glitch. In some cases, the Eagle Eye icon is the only thing in the game that will freeze, but in other cases, the slingshot could freeze along with it, or an already-launched bird could freeze on screen. This is a game glitch that may resolve itself on its own in a few moments, or it may require another resolution.
Resolving Freezing Due To Game Glitch
-
If the Eagle Eye icon remains frozen for more than a few seconds and it is not due to use restrictions, it may be a game glitch that can often be resolved by exiting the game and reloading the app. If reloading the app does not work, it may be necessary to remove the app from the device and reinstall it. However, uninstalling and re-installing the "Angry Birds" app will remove all progress in the game, so use this only as a last resort. If the "Angry Birds" app is removed and re-installed, the Mighty Eagle ability will not be included since it is an in-app purchase -- it must be purchased again.
