Looks interesting.

You can add the exetended communities via generic extended communitiy in
bird:

bgp_ext_community.add( (generic, 0x80060000, 0x00000000 ) );

the output in birdc will look like:

flow4 { dst 203.0.113.53/32; src 198.51.100.10/32; }  [S_FLOWSPEC_v4 07:48:34.659] * (200)
        Type: static univ
        BGP.ext_community: (generic, 0x80060000, 0x0)

HTH, 
tim
