Fan spreads the Angry Birds love off-screen

An Angry Birds fan has taken her son's love for the game off the screen and into her home, creating a 'live’ Angry Birds game for her and her children to play.

Laura K’s real-life Angry Birds game comes complete with custom birds made from a variety of materials (a tennis ball for the red bird, plasticine for the yellow bird, and a ping-pong ball for the blue bird), all of which look pretty true to form (as you can see from the pictures).

Using cardboard boxes for the pigs’ hideouts, the aim of the game is much the same on-screen - i.e., destroying the pigs’ shelters using only a slingshot and your feathered friends.

However, Laura says that, "the slingshots are just for show. They (her sons) mostly just like throwing the birds head-on at the pigs."

So what do you think? Creative genius, or just quackers?
