I have the same issue. One day I noticed some comtacts birthays are missing. This is happens for pure outlook.com contacts and contacts with linkes profiles (skype).

• adding a new birthday for a contact in the birthday calander adds a new outlook.com contact, even id the contact already exists. But a birthday is added...
• changeing the birthday of a "broken" contact does not help
• unlink "broken" contacts was not helpful

I did everytime a manual sync of thr calander (in the birthdays calander options)

Here some screens:

Hi,

I have the same problem, too.

I missed some birthdays recently.

Until the begin of June it worked fine and I got remembered for all my birthday correctly on my Lumia 920.

Then I was in Brasil using a Lumia 630 with WP 8.1 and did not care about birthdays, as I prescheduled a programmed SMS in advanced for the importan birthdays.

Now I am back and since End of July, beginning of August I realise that many birthdays are missing and the birthday calendar seems not to be reliable anymore.

Hope this issue will get solved soon...

Best wishes

Gerry Kammerer
