Can't remove birthday from Calendar app on my iPhone

I have tried removing this person from my contacts, and there is no phone number or email of theirs in my contacts now. The birthday is still in my calendar, and I cannot get rid of it. I have tried restarting my phone, and it still shows up on my phone and other devices. Any fixes?

Jan 1, 1601 birthdays - is there a way to delete this? I have many (hundreds) of contacts where I never entered a birthday but show up on my Apple Calendar with a January 1, 1601 birthday. The only way to deal with this seems to be to open EVERY SINGLE contact from contacts, then edit, then close. Some of them later come back with the same birthday. I only use Apple devices, this has moved along many phones and laptops. It stays inside the Calendar app on both devices. I'm losing my mind over this nagging problem.

Re: Removing birthday from calendar

If you have any other accounts using Calendar (you can check in Settings > Calendar > Accounts) the Birthday could be coming from a calendar there ?
