Is there any reason I should go after it? I can't reach it with the red cadet.

The turnips can be destroyed for 1000 points. They aren't evil or special. You'll find some others littered across other levels, but they don't provide any special functionality currently. You do want to keep an eye out for golden eggs though.
In the level above (Pig Bang 13), you can destory this one with the blue bird, but I'm pretty sure to 3 star the level, you should be finishing the level with the first bird.
At first glance, the video suggests that the Red, Black, and [now-green] Big Brother birds all have the same abilities as before, though newly-designed.
The Blue birds have the same ability, though they seem a bit stronger than in the original apps.
There also seems to be a purple-colored bird (we are not going to speculate as to its name right now), whose ability is to redirect and accelerate. Personally, I believe this is a new ability of the existing Yellow bird.
There is also a new “icy” bird (again, no speculation as to name), whose ability is to freeze its contact area on a structure.
This seems to be accurate based on this newer post describing all of the birds in detail, which I won't reproduce.
Edit: Based on playing the game just now, it appears that the blue birds don't speed up as mentioned in the latter post (but not the first). Possibly it was just confirmation bias on ABN's part since there's a nice rocket-like glow when they split apart. As well, all birds show a plot of the first part of their trajectory.
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.
