Bird in Kansas City This previously unknown home of the Parker family was found by Chuck Haddix (the director of the Marr Sound Archives at UMKC) in 2005. It is located at 109 W34th St. Kansas City Missouri. According to a report from the famous Bird tribute site "Bird Lives", the family moved in this house from KCKa in 1927, and had probably been lived here for about 4 years.
This is Charlie Parker's grave site in Lincoln Cemetery.
