Charles "Charlie" Bird (born 9 September 1949) is an Irishjournalist and broadcaster. He was Chief News Correspondent with RTÉ News and Current Affairs until January 2009. He took up the role of Washington Correspondent, but prematurely returned to his earlier post in Ireland in June 2010. He retired from RTÉ in August 2012.
In the late 1960s, Bird took an active interest in far left politics, being a member of Young Socialists. In this role, along with Tariq Ali of the International Marxist Group, he attended the funeral of Peter Graham of Saor Éire who was assassinated on 25 October 1971 in an internecine dispute. A photograph of the funeral shows Ali and Bird giving a clenched fist salute at the grave. Charlie Bird was recruited into RTÉ by Eoghan Harris in the mid 1970s.

You'd stop at hundred and forty tears I forget the lonely years I know I've been lost for words to say I know my lonely heart would go wild you can bet I'd have to smile If you should come back today If you should come back I wonder what I'd act like I wonder what I'd do I wonder what I'd say I know that I do more than stand and smile while my crazy arms went wild If you should come back today [ steel ] I've done a lotta lonely midnight walkin' and some crazy senseless talkin' I've missed you every kind of way I know I surely lose control like a love that's in my soul if you should come back today If you should come back...
