I see that https://hub.docker.com/r/calico/bird exists but when I deploy it it doesn’t seem to have anything inside of it. Maybe I am not using this calico bird container properly? If this is the wrong direction, I can just yum install a bird rpm into a ubi container and move forward that way. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I have no idea on the calico container, but we run it in production with
podman using an image that builds from source on ubi8. We didn't use the
yum version because we have specific needs. but I'm sure it would work
fine as well.
