Jay, Jake, and Jim, collectively known as The Blues, are identical characters in the Angry Birds franchise created by Rovio Entertainment. They were introduced in 2009 as the second characters introduced and core members of the original flock. Ever since their first appearance in Poached Eggs, they've appeared in numerous installments of the series as main characters.
Personality
Jim, Jake, and Jay were born in a baby blue egg after the battle with the pigs, with Red nearly sacrificing his own life in saving the triplets' lives. Shortly after this, the newborns went to the newly repaired slingshot and launched themselves to sea. The Blues are very mischievous birds, often getting into trouble for pranks at the other birds. They have a very close bond with each other, almost always be seen together.
They can be very intelligent and cunning, and use this feature to get out of situations they find themselves in. They are extremely gifted in constructing contraptions, though this talent usually goes to fooling the pigs or the other members of the flock. They can be friendly and loved by the other birds. They are also good at figuring out situations.
Because of Jay being well brainy and confident, he instructs and gives out plans for the other Blues and likes having fun without being worried. Jake is way mischievous and laid-back than his brothers he does the pranks the most. He is also a champ, he likes fighting pigs and doing dangerous stunts. Jim is very helpful and kindhearted towards the flock and like Jay, Jim sometimes follows Red's orders. He knows be to energetic, how to come up with crazy ideas for the pranks, the ones that are crazy enough to work. Jim occasionally can be timid a bit, but he always keeps his cool.
The Blues first made their debut in the original Angry Birds, where they were the second characters introduced and members of the core flock. After their introduction level in Poached Eggs 1-10, they become playable characters for all of the themes that follow, excluding The Big Setup, which was dedicated entirely to Hal and Terence. While in early cinematic trailers and promotions, there was only shown to be one, single Blue Bird. It has then been confirmed that they are three, separate individuals, rather than one bird that duplicates itself.
Gameplay
The Blues are the first birds to be introduced that have an ability, to split into three. The birds are split with some force, so the top bird flies a bit upward while the bottom bird flies a bit downward, while the middle bird continues in the regular path. Their strengths and weaknesses are seen here.
There is also a neon blue potion in Short Fuse that when in contact with pigs, splits them in three. This can rack up your points insanely and can have destructive effects, especially when the potion is cracked near multiple targets.
Trivia
- The Blues are the only characters in the flock to not have eyebrows. But there are rare situations like the cinematic trailer, where they do.
- A concept of the Blues was made in 2008, showing the ability for birds to split. They and Red are the only known birds who were developed at that time.
- The Blues' ability was never changed or even slightly modified in any slingshot-based Angry Birds game, not including the Blue Pilots' upgrade.
- Jay was named "Jon" in an Angry Birds Comic as a typo. This also happened with Bomb, who was incorrectly named Bob in the Space Comic.
- In the Angry Birds Transformers comics, Bluestreak transformed into a motorcycle with a sidecar as opposed to a sports car in the game a year later. This might have been a reference to the Animated version of Prowl in which he turned into a motorcycle.
- When playing games that use their chrome designs, the Blues will immediately turn into corpses once the player activates their ability regardless of whether or not they touch a surface.
- Jay is the only bird in Angry Birds Evolution to have a super shot name reused from other birds.
- The Blues are the second characters to receive their own piece of media, with the first being Stella with the Stella series.
- Luca and the Blues are similar to each other, as they are both young blue birds who are effective against glass.
- In Angry Birds GO! They are the first (of the three characters) that can use your power three times, the second being Foreman Pig, and the third being Corporal Pig.
