Check your contacts, it is probably there. If you delete a birthday in contacts, it will not appear in your calendar.

if you entered the birthday manually in your calendar, you should be able to delete it.

I am not sure how you have your Google account/calendar set up. I use Google Apps, so I can have my own domain for gmail, so I am the administrator for my calendars.

Google has kind of merged much of its backend data. So if any Google services have that information they all do.

I do use Google Calendar. I had the “Birthdays” checkbox enabled, and it wished me a happy birthday. I spun through my busy calendar to see how many birthdays are listed, and it’s a tiny handful, I think four people besides myself.

My birthday is on a busy day, so I tried to delete my birthday. Cawn’t be done. I would have to contact the Calendar Administrator, they say. But it doesn’t say who the administrator is for the birthday calendar.

It’s OK, I have simply disabled the Birthday Calendar, which will not be missed. But I’m curious who that mysterious administrator is.

I guess the real answer is, If I gave Google my birthday, where did I do that?
