ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS


         On August 22, 1994, Bird Corporation (the "Registrant") sold the
assets of its distribution businesses to Wm. Cameron & Co.  The assets sold
comprise substantially all of the assets of Atlantic Building Products
Corporation, Greater Louisville Aluminum, Inc., Southwest Roofing Supply, Inc.,
Southwest Express, Inc., and New York Building Products, Inc., all of which are
currently wholly owned subsidiaries of Bird Incorporated, a subsidiary of the
Registrant.  The purchase price consisted of cash in the amount of 
approximately $24.2 million, including deferred payments held in escrow of $1.3
million and the assumption of certain liabilities of the selling companies.
The purchase price was subject to adjustment based on an audit of the book
value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as of the closing date.
The adjustment resulted in an increase in the purchase price of $1,897,000
which was paid to the Company on November 17, 1994.

         The foregoing description of this transaction is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 19,
1994, which is filed as an Exhibit to this Report.

                  PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



The following unaudited balance sheet presents the financial position of the
Company as of June 30, 1994 assuming the sale of the distribution business
assets to  Cameron  and its subsidiaries had occurred on that date.  In
addition, the unaudited statements of operations that follow the balance sheet
present the results of operations of the Company for the year ended December
31, 1993 and the  six months ended June 30, 1994 assuming the sale of the
distribution business assets had occurred immediately prior to commencement of
the statement of operations period.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and
certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable in the
circumstances.  The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information
neither purports to represent what the Company's financial position or results
of operations would actually have been if the sale to Cameron had occurred on
January 1, 1993, January 1, 1994 or June 30, 1994 nor to project the company's
financial position or results of operations for any future date or period.

                               BIRD CORPORATION
        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




(1)      All summary income statement pro forma adjustments assume the
         transactions giving rise to the adjustments were consummated
         immediately prior to the first day of the period presented;
         accordingly, no gain from the transaction is reflected in the income
         statement of the period presented.  All summary balance sheet pro
         forma adjustments assume the transactions giving rise to the
         adjustments were consummated on the balance sheet date.  The pro forma
         adjustments for the sale of the distribution business were calculated
         assuming borrowing rates ranging between 3% and 12% with respect to
         interest expense.

(2)      Proceeds from the sale of the distribution business assets were used
         to reduce borrowings under the revolving credit agreement.  These pro
         forma transactions were assumed to be completed on the first day of
         the period presented.

(3)      Earnings per share appearing in the pro forma statement of operations
         for sale of the distribution business assets has been determined after
         deducting the dividend requirement of the Company's preferred and
         preference stock.  Earnings(loss) per share are based on the weighted
         average number of common shares outstanding excluding common stock
         equivalents, if dilutive.

(4)      The pro forma sale of the building materials distribution business
         assets assumes sales proceeds of $24.2 million including deferred
         payments held in escrow of $1.3 million, resulting in an anticipated
         gain of $2.7 million which is shown as an adjustment to stockholders
         equity and not reflected in the pro forma statement of operations.

(5)      In June 1994, the Company and the Board of Directors agreed to sell
         its shares in BEGCI, the "off-site" environmental business, to the
         minority shareholders resulting in a write-down of approximately $9
         million to its net estimated realizable value of $7.5 million.  These
         adjustments reflect this decision and, accordingly, the net estimated
         realizable value is shown in other assets as "assets held for sale" on
         the June 30, 1994 pro forma consolidated balance sheet.  In addition,
         the assets and liabilities of the entire environmental business
         segment are excluded from the adjusted pro forma balance sheet.
