This is my setup:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-files (directory-files "~/docs/org/deft/" t ".*agenda\.org$"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

~/docs/org/deft/bbdb-anniversary-trick.agenda.org:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* anniversary [isodate] 
  :PROPERTIES:
  :CATEGORY: bbdb
  :END:
%%(when (fboundp 'my/org-bbdb-anniversaries) (my/org-bbdb-anniversaries))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my/org-bbdb-anniversaries ()
"It does not work on emacs-23"
  (when (/= 23 emacs-major-version)
    (org-bbdb-anniversaries)
    )
  )
  --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

the bbdb record should have the field anniversary:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
        anniversary: 1960-03-03 custom
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best Regards
