Lester Bryant Bird (born February 21, 1938, New York City) was the second Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda from 1994 to 2004 and a well-known athlete. He was chairman of the Antigua Labour Party (ALP) from 1971 to 1993, then became Prime Minister when his father, Vere Bird, the previous Prime Minister, resigned. Bird was born on February 21, 1938.
