The founder of Bird on a Wire Espresso Heidi Herr has sold the business to Amber Heinemann and Todd Fregin of Fremann Foods. 

She founded the business in 2002 and then expanded into a space next door that was previously a hair salon in 2018.  She also was one of the founders of Admiral Bird in the Admiral District in 2013.

In a post on Facebook Herr said, "They are going to keep the Bird in flight and I'm very pleased to hand the boss-branch to them. I feel very proud of what I have built and it has truly been an honor to live/thrive in this neighborhood since 2002. The Bird was for me (and I know for many of you) a catalyst [BIRDalyst?] to SO MANY other opportunities in my life - friends, love, loss, growth, knowledge, my best pal RoRo, sports, hobbies, new opportunities, successes, failures, lessons...I don't feel like there are enough words to express my appreciation to everyone in my life that supported me,  helped me, loved me, taught me, learned from me, grew with me, trusted me, despised me, tolerated me,,,you were ALL essentially my partners in making this crazy idea of mine work. I encourage you to continue to love the Bird - I will. I'm not far (yet) and will likely see you for coffee soon. Not totally sure where I'm headed next but it feels REALLY good to have the option and freedom to discover what lies ahead."
