Is Thunderbird still supported?
When I searched for thunderbird on Google, the first question that came up was "Is Mozilla Thunderbird still supported?" It was answered by:
Thunderbird mail is a moderately safe email client. However, keep in mind that Thunderbird is an open-source app and is no longer supported and upgraded by Mozilla. If you're looking for a secure and continuously improved email client, download Mailbird and take it for a trial run.May 12, 2021

Clearly the person who wrote that article was not knowledgable on Thunderbird and wanted to promote their product. Mozilla have a different role. Thunderbird is currently being developed.
Just some basic info but it does offer a good history covering the basics including security. This is also easily found on google. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Thunderbird
Not being developed - seriously - Anyone can see and read all the various releases. https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/releases/

When I search for Thunderbird on Google, I don't see any reference to Mailbird. TB is regularly updated by an organization that is related to Mozilla (MZLA) and shares some of the code that is produced for Firefox updates.
I think the 'answer' you found about Mailbird was probably an ad placed by Mailbird in the search results.
