log "/var/log/bird.log" all;
I told on the group before that Bird does not have the right to write in the /var/log/ directory and create the log files. Either remove the loging OR give bird the write/create priviledge on its log file. (just make the log files and change its ownership to bird.)

Ok I have a bgp session established. (No routes announced yet). Please examine the following files. Why does one crash on startup and the other bird runs just fine?
root@Ampr44182822router:/etc/bird# cat bird.conf.works
router id 104.238.141.49;
protocol bgp vultr { local as 4288000184; source address 104.238.141.49; import none; export all; graceful restart on; multihop 2; neighbor 169.254.169.254 as 64515; password "password"; } root@Ampr44182822router:/etc/root@Ampr44182822router:/etc/bird# cat bird.conf.broken
log "/var/log/bird.log" all;
router id 104.238.141.49;
protocol bgp vultr { local as 4288000184; source address 104.238.141.49; import none; export all; graceful restart on; multihop 2; neighbor 169.254.169.254 as 64515; password "password"; } root@Ampr44182822router:/etc/bird#
Bird chokes quietly on the broken one yet sets up a bgp session with no problem on the working one. (File names indicate which is which. ). The idea here is to do this in incremental steps thus I’m not announcing any routes yet. I simply want to see that I have a peering session established with my neighbor. Then as a next step I can add a routing stanza to announce my networks.
