Yorkshire called Bird a "national treasure" who was "known not only for his umpiring excellence but also for his eccentricities and warmth."
"He leaves behind a legacy of sportsmanship, humility, and joy -- and a legion of admirers across generations."
Bird's first-class playing career, which included spells with Yorkshire and Leicestershire, was cut short by injury at the age of 32 with an average of 20.71.
He went on to become arguably the world's most famous umpire, standing in an English county match for the first time in 1970 and his first test three years later. In 1975, Bird took charge of the inaugural men's Cricket World Cup final and he was reduced to tears by a guard of honour afforded him by the players of England and India at Lord's in his final test in 1996.
