Something has to put the birthday in the calendar. If you sync with Exchange, and set up your contacts wtih Birthdays, Outlook will add them to the calendar. Google doesn't do this, but there are some tools to do it:
http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2009/07/birthday-calendar-for-google-contacts.html
Since Facebook doesn't have a calendar, I see no way to do it automatically. All the above methods rely on the contact app to talk to the calendar app within one application suite.
If you have Google/Gmail contacts and you have all their birthday information entered there. The easiest way is to go to Google calendar on a desktop. Then you would go to the Calendar settings, click on the Calendars link, and then click where it says to "Browse interesting calendars". This will take you to a page where it has the options for Holidays, Sports, or More. If you click more, there is a "Contacts' birthdays and events" calendar that you can subscribe to. Once subscribed, you can then select it as one of the calendars to sync on your phone to the calendar app.
Sounds complicated and maybe it is for some, but it was not for me. Hope this helps.
"EboBirthday" from Android Market does exactly what you're looking for perfectly and you don't have to worry about syncing with anything outside of the contact list on your phone.

well... kind of...
when you turn your phone off, and turn it back on... all the birthdays dissappear from the calender and you have to run EBOBIRTHDAY again... which takes a few minutes if you have a lot of contacts...
ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS?
Hmm. This didn't happen to me and I've had it practically since the phone came out

Meh. I still prefer the Google contacts and calendar method.

I'm running the ICS ROM by st.matt in the developer forum, and the major issue I'm having that nobody else seems to have mentioned is a lack of facebook contact syncing. I have the facebook app installed, but none of my contacts are getting their pics updated, and I can't seem to add the facebook account to my accounts list.
Is this something anyone else is seeing? Is this already known, but I just missed it?
it is a known problem
Well it isn't a game breaker that Facebook contacts aren't working.
But yes, I have the same problem, but I doubt that it is one that'll persist for long

hmmm..i thought you will need facebook for sense for sycn to happen, since ics alpha was aosp, so i think it won't be able to happen..
Yeah facebook only syncs with sense...
If you're a stickler for contact tidiness, and are struggling with no Facebook contact sync, you could always export your Facebook contacts to your PC and import them to your gmail account and sync them that way.
Although they won't updated should their details change, it's an alternative.

Hi, I'm running the virtuous inquisition rom. I was wondering if it is possible to sync the thumbnails for my contacts with their respective facebook profile pic. Does anyone know how to do this? I have tried syncing the account but the contact picture doesn't change.
Thanks.
Try syncmypix

I think i'm having the same issue? You don't want to have the Facebook pic, instead you want a high resolution photo from your gallery? I have tried everything but the only fix I could find is to uninstall facebook!

The facebook app and ICS don't play real nice as far as syncing contact pics. syncmypics was recommended, however I use Friendcaster as a Facebook replacement. Once you set it up, go to Settings-Accounts and Sync, and set Friendcaster to Sync Contacts. Give it a while and you'll be all set.

To do this all you would need to do is go to the People app, select the contact, Menu - Edit Contact. Now click the contact's picture, and it will ask you what/where you want your picture from. Choose Gallery, then choose your image
