Bird and Quagga compatiblity - multicast

I was tasked with deploying IP multicast routing on our servers using PIM. The servers currently run BIRD and a custom application on top of that for configuration.

Since BIRD doesn't support PIM and I don't really feel comfortable touching the old code for the config app (which to my understanding was mostly built by copy pasting from StackOverflow so you can imagine how horrid the code looks, but hey, it works), I want to ask first: would it be possible to keep BIRD for RIP/OSPF and only use Quagga for its PIM daemon, since pimd requires Quagga to function and I couldn't find anywhere if the two routing daemons are interoperable? Or will I have an easier time going with just Quagga?
