The Bird Baronetcy, of Solihull in the County of Warwick, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.[1]

It was created on 27 January 1922 for the chemist and food manufacturer Sir Alfred Frederick Bird, the son of Alfred Bird, the inventor of Bird's Custard. Bird was succeeded by his eldest son, the second Baronet, who was the chairman of the family firm of Alfred Bird & Sons Ltd and also represented Wolverhampton West in Parliament.

When Sir Robert died without male issue, he was succeeded by his nephew, Sir Donald Geoffrey. He was the son of Geoffrey Bird, second son of the first Baronet. As of 2007 the title is held by his son, Sir Richard Geoffrey Chapman Bird, the fourth Baronet, who succeeded in 1963.
