Angry Birds also sponsored the Lotus F1 Team that year, with its logo on the top of each Lotus Renault F1 car's nosecone. As part of the deal, fellow Finn Kimi Räikkönen ran an Angry Birds 'Space' logo on his branded caps.[http://www.lotusf1team.com/Watch-Out-The-Birds-Have-Landed.html Watch Out !

Rovio also launched the Angry Birds Playground in partnership with University of Helsinki. Based on the Finnish national curriculum the program covers maths, science, music, language, arts & crafts, physical education and social interaction. Focused on preschoolers of kindergarten age, the program introduced interactive learning material including books, posters, games and digital content.{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/technology/appsblog/2013/sep/16/angry-birds-playground-education-rovio|title=Angry Birds Playground: Rovio catapults gaming into the classroom|last=Dredge|first=Stuart|date=16 September 2013|work=The Guardian|access-date=30 July 2018|archive-date=30 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180730170551/https://www.theguardian.com/technology/appsblog/2013/sep/16/angry-birds-playground-education-rovio|url-status=live}} In 2015, a spin-off from the Rovio Angry Birds Playground was established as [https://funacademy.fi/ Fun Academy] by co-founder and CEO Sanna Lukander, former Rovio's vice president of learning and book publishing, and co-founder {{interlanguage link|Peter Vesterbacka|fi|Peter_Vesterbacka|vertical-align=sup}}, former Rovio's 'Mighty Eagle'.{{Cite web|url=https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160128005521/en/Rovio-Entertainment-Rovio-Spins-Education-Business-Create|title=Rovio Entertainment: Rovio Spins off Education Business to Create Fun Academy|date=28 January 2016|website=Business Wire|access-date=30 July 2018|archive-date=30 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180730170718/https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160128005521/en/Rovio-Entertainment-Rovio-Spins-Education-Business-Create|url-status=live}} Fun Academy is currently{{when|date=December 2022}} present in 9 countries across the world.{{citation needed|date=December 2022}}

During the Gaza war, graphic ads supporting Israel showed up in Angry Birds and other video games for children. The Israeli Foreign Ministry said it had instructed advertisers to block the ads for viewers under the age of 18. Rovio subsequently banned the ads manually.{{cite news |last1=Satter |first1=Raphael |last2=Paul |first2=Katie |last3=Dang |first3=Sheila |last4=Satter |first4=Raphael |title=Graphic pro-Israel ads make their way into children's video games |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/graphic-pro-israel-ads-make-their-way-into-childrens-video-games-2023-10-30/ |work=Reuters |date=30 October 2023 |language=en}}

In January 2014, it was revealed that Angry Birds was considered a "leaky app" and was used to collect data about its users including their sexual orientation and location by the National Security Agency (NSA) and GCHQ. In retaliation, anti-NSA hackers defaced Rovio's website. Claims were made by Edward Snowden that the app was leaky and that they were capable of siphoning data.

According to The Register, the information was leaked through the in-game advertisement code like that embedded by Millennial Media: "Millennial's tracking software generates a personal record for each user that can store information from their political affiliation and sexual orientation to whether their marital state was single, married, divorced, engaged or 'swinger'. This information is used to target in-app ads more effectively, and can be collected by UK and US intelligence agencies for analysis."{{cite web|url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/01/27/leaking_smartphone_apps_nsa_gchq/|title=Fancy a little kinky sex?

Following this revelation, on 29 January, the Angry Birds site was defaced by hackers who replaced it with "Spying Birds" via a DNS hijacking attack.
