How do I get birthdays entered in Contacts to show on my calendar.

[MME]

I enter birthdays for individuals in the detail section of Contacts.
However, when I go to my calendar the birthdays do not show up. Is there a
way to make them show up automatically, or do I need to set up a birthday as
an event?

Birthdays, once entered into the details on the contact item, show
automatically in the DEFAULT calendar, not any user created calendar.
