Angry Birds by Scooterek has the classic gang looking less angry and a bit more beaten. After all those launches from the slingshot, maybe it’s time the birds just rested for a day instead of trying to destroy pigs.

Crashing into tall structures and ice all day cannot be good for one’s health, especially if you’re a [tiny bird](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-birdfeeder). That’s why these little guys have crutches, bandages, thermometers and even an IV. These birds don’t seem very happy to be out of commission and probably wish they could get back in the game.

Angry Birds by Scooterek is a realistic take on what the birds from the [popular phone app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flappy-buddy) look like after going to the top levels of the game.
