Thunderbird sees only some iCloud calendars, not others

Using TB 147.0.2 on Windows 11. Installation went very smoothly, including importing all my IMAP, Gmail, and iCloud accounts. Kudos!

However, my iCloud account has four calendars (personal, shared, travel, work) and TB only sees two of the four. I can't pinpoint any reason why. There's nothing special about the two it sees or the two it doesn't, as far as I can tell.

Any hints? Suggestions? Ridicule?

Fixed it!

Go to Calendar tab > click "New Calendar..." (near the bottom) > "On the network" > enter iCloud username > enter app-specific password (not the normal iCloud password) > select which calendar(s) to sync.

All my calendars were listed there, so I selected all of them. Not sure why Thunderbird initially chose to sync only two of the four calendars, but whatever...

When I had that issue with Google calendars I had to change settings on Google so it offered all subscribed calendars not just my own. Could this be the Apple equivalent.

Good tip. Thanks. However, there doesn't appear to be any equivalent iCloud Calendar setting that I can tweak. I've tried both www.icloud.com and account.apple.com and haven't found anything that would affect access or visibility. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'm happy to be corrected.
