If you're looking for vanilla BIRD, I'd package something myself, rather, or https://hub.docker.com/r/pierky/bird/ if you want something pre-packaged. The repo for that calico/bird image explicitly calls out:
> This is a fork of the BIRD internet routing daemon which provides the following additional function used by Calico: > * Support for routing using IP-in-IP Its Dockerfile calls a /opt/bird-wrapper.sh entrypoint ( https://github.com/projectcalico/bird/blob/feature-ipinip/dist/amd64/birdy/bird-wrapper.sh), which runs split IPv4/IPv6 daemons in bird 1.x style. My previous gig ran BIRD in a custom container in a large distributed environment for heavy production services.
