Thank you for the report. I have not implemented an SVG editor, you can only remove and resize the SVG paths in Birdfont. You need to work with an external editor like Inkscape.
That said, this is something I do want to work on and hopefully add later this year.
Hi, thank you for creating Birdfont!
I was trying out the color font features, but when trying to edit the Gilbert Color font, I am not able to change paths and/or colors.
When editing the monochromatic glyph, everything is fine.

But when switching to SVG color, I see the original glyph and cannot edit its paths nor color. When clicking on the glyph with the "move control points" tool, nothing will happen. Also I cannot select any control points.

When I convert the SVG glyph to a COLR glyph, I can edit the COLR glyph.

Is this a bug or is this a case of me not understanding how to work with Birdfont yet?
