Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Contacts with birthdays are showing up just fine in the birthday calendar, however, accounts do not (even though the birthday is set in the profile).
Interestingly enough, though, there is an option in the contacts app when viewing an account based entry, to "hide this account from the birthday calendar", which implies to me, that they should be included by default.
Describe the solution you'd like
The birthday calendar should also include birthdays from accounts.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Right now you would need to add a contact for each account, which leads to duplicated entries in Talk, Mail, Calendar etc.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the birthday calendar currently obtains birthdays from contacts, then inspect how account-based entries are represented in the contacts app. Confirm how the existing “hide this account from the birthday calendar” option is intended to work; done means eligible account birthdays appear without requiring duplicate contacts and can still be hidden.
