Do you use bbdb by any chance? If you do, you can put the birthday on
the person's record, as an "anniversary" field that looks like, for
example:
anniversary: 1930-12-02 birthday
It will show up properly in org agendas with the following settings
(hope I haven't forgotten anything):
(require 'bbdb-anniv)
(setq org-agenda-include-diary t)
(add-hook 'diary-list-entries-hook 'bbdb-anniv-diary-entries)
Just another option...
Eric
