Bird 1.6 was at end-of-support for a long-long time ago. Bird 2 is not under end-of-anything, but if I'm not mistaken, the tendency is that in the future 2 stops receiving new features.

If you are making an effort to change now, why not change directly to 3?

The transition from BIRD 2 to BIRD 3 is fairly seamless. The configuration files are compatible, so both upgrading to BIRD 3 and reverting to BIRD 2, if necessary, are relatively straightforward. -- Marek Zarychta
