I'm trying to come up with a way to have birthdays show up on my Google calendar while at the same time NOT duplicating with Facebook (if this is even possible).

I had hoped adding a birthday within a contact within my Gmail account would add that birthday to my Google calendar, alas it does not see to. What's the point of having the birthday field if it doesn't add it to my calendar?

Am I missing a setting? If I manually add a birthday to my Google calendar then it shows up twice on my phone (Facebook and Google). By adding the birthday within the contact record I had hoped that would add it to my google calendar and that when it syncs over, since my facebook and google contacts are linked, it would show only one birthday.

Am I expecting too much here?

Any other words of advice on how to accomplish what I'm trying to do.

I would like to keep the Facebook reminders as there are reminders of birthdays of people I don't want on my calendar in Google but don't mind being reminded on my phone.
