how to remove specific birthdays from calendar on iPhone 7

My calendar displays birthdays for people with whom I am not longer connected. I have gone so far as to try to disable the BIRTHDAY calendar altogether, but I still see these people's birthdays showing up in my calendar. These people are no longer in my contacts, and I deleted my Facebook account, so I don't know why (or how) calendar would still be syncing with my FB contacts. I'm so confused!

Thanks in advance.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 11.4.1, null

When I click on any other date, I have the option to delete (either the red dot appears and I click “delete” or I click on the event and “edit” then “delete event.” When I click on a birthday, these are my only options: (see photo).

No red dot ... see photo ... Brandon is someone for whom I do not need a birthday reminder. And he’s listed under my “contacts” calendar, but he is definitely not in my contacts. When I still had a Facebook acct, I was friends with him.

Hello: Thank you for your response. I don't have these people in my contacts at all, and their birthdays still appear. I was connected with some of them on Facebook, so I think that's how they began to appear originally, but now that I no longer have Facebook, I would think they'd disappear, or that there'd be a way to update without Facebook contacts. Any ideas?

You may have saved their birthday in their contact card. Try deleting their number from your phone book (anyway you are no longer connected with them 🙂). Hope this helps.
