• Since its release on December 11, 2009, the game 'Angry Birds' by the Finnish company Rovio has been downloaded over 3 billion times in all its versions and on all platforms.
• Unlike their prototypes in the game, the characters in the film have a kind of hands.
• At the time of its release, the film was the most expensive in the history of Finnish cinema. The previous record – $9.7 million – belonged to the action film 'Big Game' (Jalmari Helander, 2014).
• At the beginning of the film, Red asks two birds how many stars out of three they would give a holiday pie. Three stars is the maximum score a user can achieve in the "Angry Birds" games.
• While voicing Leonard, Bill Hader parodied the voice of his high school football coach.
• Like the members of the comedy duo "Smosh", who gained internet fame, Toby Turner (actor, comedian, musician, and vlogger) voiced one of the film's characters (Perry), but this character was cut from the theatrical release.
• In the Dutch version of the film, Chuck is dubbed by Enzo Knol, the first vlogger in the Netherlands to reach one million subscribers on YouTube.
• For the Spanish version, Red is dubbed by Santiago Segura, Chuck by José Mota, Matilda by Cristina Castaño, and Leonardo by director Álex de la Iglesia.
• Starting June 10, 2016, the film begins with the short film "Early Bird Catches the Worm". Previously, the film started with the Sony/Columbia Pictures logo, followed by the Rovio Animation logo, and then the film's prologue.
• During the opening credits, Red's state of mind and his troubles are described by the background composition "Paranoid" (1970) by the British rock band Black Sabbath. The chorus ("Can you help me occupy my mind?") is not used in the film. Red genuinely seeks help from other birds.
• A character named Terence does not utter a single word throughout the film. He only grunts, hums to himself, and sings arias from operas.
• The pigs have their own version of Daft Punk – the band Daft Pig can be seen at the controls at the disco on Bird Island.
• In the game, the eagle flies in when the user throws a huge golden egg. In the film, he flies in when all the eggs are stolen. They are all connected to each other, so it looks like one big egg.
• Stella, the Pink Bird, is the only one who doesn't use her special abilities when attacking Piggy Island.
• In one scene during the destruction of Piggyville, Bomb says to Matilda: "Bridesmaid!" Bomb was voiced by Danny McBride in the film ("bride" in English means "bride").
• The license plate of the car Terence steals reads "Wild as a boar".
• The inscription on the tickets to the pig concert on Bird Island reads "Steve Aoki." This is a nod to DJ, composer, and music producer Steve Aoki.

• During the opening credits, Red's state of mind and life troubles are described by the background composition "Paranoid" (1970) by the British rock group Black Sabbath. The chorus ("Can you help me occupy my mind?") is not used in the film. Red is actually seeking help from other birds.
• In one scene, during the destruction of Piggy City, Bomb says to Matilda: "Maid of honor!" Bomb was voiced by Danny McBride in the film ("bride" in English means "bride").
• The license plate of the car stolen by Terence reads "Wild as a boar."
• The tickets for the pig concert on Bird Island read "Steve Aoki." This is a reference to DJ, composer, and music producer Steve Aoki.
