Not a direct answer, but have you found the org-contacts package?

 https://julien.danjou.info/projects/emacs-packages#org-contacts 

It supports the BIRTHDAY property. See the note at bottom of the link above about how it integrates with the agenda. 

Example:

** Dad
:PROPERTIES:
:BIRTHDAY: 1955-01-21
:END:

Hello,

I am trying to use org-mode for birthdays. I have tried those two entries:

* Calendar
** Birthdays
*** Somebody
    SCHEDULED: <1970-05-20 Mo +1y>
*** Somebody1
    SCHEDULED:
 %%(org-anniversary 1970  5 20) Somebody1 is %d years old


The first entry is shown in the agenda for the current day as:


  Calendar:   Sched.358x:  Somebody

I find this a bit strange. I want a reminder a couple of days before the
event. But I don't want an everday reminder of how days have gone past the
last event.

The second entry doesn't appear at all in the agenda.

Any ideas what I am missing here?
