Thanks for your answer.
That's was an expected one, but as I send routes to another router and not to the kernel i would have expected that this would not have been an issue. I will try to update bird.
Do you know if BSD port is up to date ?

>BIRD under FreeBSD supports multipath, but not the standard rtsock build. For achieving your aim you have to run BIRD 2.0.12 built with bsd-netlink target[1]. Building and running netlink flavor of BIRD under FreeBSD requires 13.2-RC1 or later.
