Some of the other birds are different in Angry Birds Space but does the small red bird have a new ability? When I tap while it's flying it sends out a little red shockwave thing but I can't tell if it does something (maybe I'm not timing it right).

From everything I've seen, the red bird is still just the same base bird with no special abilities as it was in past games. When you tap on the screen it makes a noise, but it doesn't seem to change anything about the flight path, which is similar to the other versions.
The shockwave you see when tapping appears to be cosmetic only. I ran a couple of tests on level 1-1 and triggered the shockwave right next to the pig without hitting it, and it didn't cause the pig to die or move at all.
