Happy Birds

By Matthew Kennedy | Updated 10 June 2026

There’s no shortage of bird-themed slots, but this new slot from iSoftBet hopes to rival them with great animations and some interesting bonuses. There’s a bonus game and a free spins round involving our feathered friends.

Theme

The backdrop for the Happy Birds slot game is a town, which features quirky angular houses and lamp posts on the street. The blue reels are home to a menagerie of 3D-style bird symbols, which include a toucan, parrot and chick. The animations are a treat in this game, as they have a cartoon style but they’re a great quality compared to some other games. The birds join in celebrations when winning symbol combinations are found, but you may have to turn the sound off, as the musical backing track gets a little annoying.

How to Play

The slot has five reels and 243 ways to win instead of the usual paylines, which means the potential for more winning combinations depends on the bet. The parrot symbol is the one to watch if you want to win a jackpot, as there are 400 coins up for grabs if you find five on the reels. The wild is the parakeet, which substitutes any other symbol except the scatter to complete winning combinations.

Bird Balloon Bonus

Watch for the bonus symbol featuring the three main bird characters. Landing three or more triggers the bonus game. In this interactive part of the game, you shoot balloons down from a tree on a new screen to win multipliers or free spins.

Flying Free Spins

Landing a hoop symbol on the 2nd and 4th reels awards a random number of free spins according to the number of times the birds fly through the hoop. There are additional wilds on the reels in this round, but because the number of free spins is randomly awarded, you might not end up with as many as you hoped.
