I've implemented 'Lightning' and 'Provider for Google Calendar', and have established good 'handshake' between calendars. 'Birthday Calendar' correctly extracts birth dates from my Address Book and displays in Lightning. However, the 'Birthday Calendar' information is not transmitted to my Google Calendar. Is there a mechanism to share Birthday Calendar with Google?

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.2).

Ratings are not a good place for questions. To still try to answer your question: the calendars (multiple!) you see in Thunderbird are completely separate, it would not make sense to "share" them with each other.

To get the functionality you want, the common method is to have something like Birthday Calendar on every device, and sync the contacts using a different mechanism. That said, as address books contain tons of personal information of others, I'd strongly recommend to use something privacy-friendly for the sync instead of Google: even if you personally are fine with Google having your data, your contacts might not want you to expose their data to Google!)
