He was employed at Kaufman Astoria Studios primarily in a custodial capacity, although he was occasionally tasked with assisting in casting for minor character roles when studio personnel believed his familiarity with local personalities made him useful for that purpose. Bird has specifically claimed that he participated in the casting process for a minor role in ''National Lampoon's Vacation''.

Bird's employment ended following an allegation of indecent exposure involving a costumed performer. Bird denied responsibility and attributed the incident to his cousin, Big Bird. That explanation was not regarded as credible, as Big Bird was documented to have been filming in another studio at the time.
