Why are my Contacts' birthdays not showing on my Calendar??
I have birthdays included on my Contacts cards but they don't appear on my Calendar.

Hey eviedunton,
If you haven't already, make sure you have the Birthday calendar showing in the Calendar app. Here's how: Show or hide the Birthdays calendar on Mac - Apple Support
Show or hide the Birthdays calendar on Mac
The Birthdays calendar displays birthdays it finds in the Contacts app.
1. In the Calendar appon your Mac, choose Calendar > Preferences, then click General.
2. Select or deselect “Show Birthdays calendar.”
Let us know how it goes.
Take care!
Thanks very much Tammy. Your answer was helpful in that it allowed me to confirm that I had followed those instructions already. However, I still cannot get my birthdays to show on my Calendar.
Hello eviedunton,
Got it.
Just to confirm, have you added the birthdays to Contacts for each person? If not, you will need to ensure the birthday is added in the Contacts app before they will show in Calendar.
You can’t add or remove birthdays directly in the Birthdays calendar; instead, you update them in the Contacts app. When you add or remove birthdays in Contacts, the Birthdays calendar is updated automatically.
You can learn more using the link we provided previously: Show or hide the Birthdays calendar on Mac - Apple Support
Kindest regards.
