Lightbird brings slightly modified Sunbird UI to Lightning and integrates it better with SeaMonkey UI.
This means that:
- Calendar with Lightbird is a separate component, available from Component bar and Window menu.
- MailNews opens faster (much faster on my computer, may be different for others) because it doesn't need to load calendar every time.
Lightbird 0.3 and newer also works with Thunderbird. Here it just provides standalone calendar window. Calendar can be found in Tools menu, while normal Lightning UI is disabled just like on SM.

Lightbird requires Lightning and will not work without it.
Additionally, this makes calendar look better with SeaMonkey Modern theme, using parts of the old Calendar extension skin. However, dialogs are part of Lightning, and Lightbird does not modify them.
