      awesome artwork. :) (yeah, it took me some time and dedication to beat the whole thing, too. there are some levels where I have no idea what they expect me to do to get even two stars, let alone three.)

      Amazingly wonderful art!

      But bad Latin :(

      Short version: should be "aves iratae"

      TL;DR version:

      As in English, "aves" ("birds") is a plural noun. However, unlike most English, all Latin nouns have a grammatical gender, not necessarily related to the biological gender (if any) of the thing the word describes. "Avis" ("bird") is feminine.

      So far so good! However, also unlike English, adjectives have grammatical number (singular and plural forms) and also have grammatical gender. So to describe a feminine plural noun like "aves", the adjective also has to be feminine plural.

      "Iratus" ("angry") is masculine singular. The feminine plural of this adjective is "iratae". Therefore, "angry birds" is "aves iratae".

      Whoah, thanks for all the comments. Yah my Latin isn't anything more than a few quick translations from google.

      Nice, except the kamikage bird doesn't look right. He's the same color as the red one, but fatter and bigger than all the other birds.

      . Thanks for the memory of Life of Brian and 'Romans go home' Skit.

      Great bit of artwork. Haven't seen the green bird yet. Though I'm stuck on level 15 on first game so I'm a slackr :)
