You could use a "calendar" agenda to look for upcoming birthdays
generated by org-bbdb-anniversaries:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'org-agenda-custom-commands
'("c" "Calendar" agenda ""
((org-agenda-span 'month)
(org-agenda-time-grid nil) ;;
(org-agenda-entry-types '(:timestamp :sexp)))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
If (for speed's sake) you wanted to limit the calendar just to
birthdays, you could create an org file with a single headline:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Birthdays
%%(org-bbdb-anniversaries)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
...and then add an org-agenda-files line that points just to that
minimal file to the custom command above.
