Born in Vermont, he moved with his family to Madison County, New York and Ann Arbor, Michigan. In 1836, Bird moved to Wisconsin Territory. There he built buildings. The Governor of Wisconsin Territory James Doty appointed Bird to a three-man commission to plan the new territorial capitol. In 1851 and 1856, Bird served in the Wisconsin State Assembly and in 1857 was mayor of Madison. He died suddenly in Green Bay, Wisconsin, while visiting his family.
