Bird fired the Gayfield side in front in first-half stoppage time.
However, he picked up a second yellow card on 74 minutes after an ugly dispute with Hylton, who was also booked in the strange altercation.
Craig Wighton scored a stoppage time equaliser to stun the hosts.
"The turning point in the game was the incident with our two players," manager Jim McIntyre told the Daily Record., external
"They weren't happy with each other. One wanted a shot, the other wanted a pass but what then ensued is totally unprofessional and both will be dealt with internally.
"For me to have to come out after a sterling effort by our players - including those two - to talk about that is not acceptable."
Arbroath stay ninth in the Championship, while Dunfermline sit fourth.
