BIRD (when compiled from sources) uses by default prefix /usr/local,
therefore expects configuration file in /usr/local/etc/bird.conf and
directory /usr/local/var/run for its socket. You can copy config file
to that position (and create that directory if it does not exist) or
recompile BIRD with different --prefix option.

You can also compile BIRD with --enable-debug and then it expects to
find config file in current directory.
