After completing Rietveld Academy’s Orientation year, Bird apprenticed with the painter poet Anton Martineau for the following 3 years. Then learned lost-wax bronze casting at the Honey Arts Modelling Center in Chamba India. She was awarded a Portrait Prize from the Contemporary Arts Center of Sacramento, 3rd prize at the University of Iceland's AWE Accelerator, 4 grants from SSV Uppbyggingarsjóður Vesturlands, a grant from List Fyrir Alla, 3 grants from Viðburðir Markaðsstofa Vesturlands, and funding from the Karolina Funds for the documentary 'Porquois Pas Borgarnes'. She completed art residencies at the Baer Art Center, Deiglan Gilfélagið Art Center, and SIM Association of Icelandic Visual Artists.

A description by the former curator of the Kunstmuseum Basel Erwin Treu.“Bird’s palette is as colorful as her paintings and her abstract works are full of vitality. Her figurative work expresses transcendental and enigmatic themes. Wherever she and her art are found, there is sure to be a high degree of zest for life.”
