Cannons

Cannons are a weapon used in Angry Birds Classic and Angry Birds Friends.

Behavior

They will fire yellow apples at any incoming birds.
When their target is locked, they will shoot.
Sometimes, a cannon could lock target too early and miss the bird. This happens when you shoot the bird in a familiar way or if you get your bird behind an object. Thus the yellow apple can't go through the object.
Cannons are auto controlled, they will aim and shoot even if the pig isn't in the machine that the Cannon is attached to.

Strategy

It is always recommended to destroy Cannons to bring down a pigs' defense.

Trivia

They are first seen in Egg Defender-9.
The purpose for pigs to have Cannons attached to their machine is so they could stop birds at long ranges.
