How to Add the Birthdays Calendar in Google Calendar
Enabling the Birthdays calendar in Google Calendar is quick and painless.
Open Google Calendar. In the upper-left corner, select the hamburger menu. If needed, select the My calendars drop-down arrow to expand this section. If the upper-left menu is already open, when you select the hamburger menu, it will close. If the menu closes, just click it again to reopen it. Select Birthdays to enable it. If you don’t see a Birthdays option, select Contacts. Birthdays from your Google Contacts should now appear in Google Calendar. Unlike other calendars, the Birthdays calendar cannot be set up to send notifications. If you want birthday reminders in Google Calendar, copy the individual birthdays to a personal calendar, then configure notifications there.
