Hey Guys. The issue was with the ‘Turn on shared calendar improvements’ feature introduced by Microsoft recently, and the way I fixed it was as follows:
1. In the Outlook app, navigate to the account settings and uncheck the ‘Turn on shared calendar improvements’ feature
2. Close the Outlook app.
3. Go to the account in the browser using Outlook on the web, and toggle the Birthday Calendar switch to off.
4. The Birthday Calendar should disappear from the Calendar tab in the web version.
5. Relaunch the Outlook app, and try to check the checkbox to display the Birthday Calendar. This throws an error and removes it from Outlook.
6. For every user that has access to this users' mailbox, from their Outlook app attempt to display the Birthday Calendar and this should disappear.
Let me know if this works for you both.
- Cheers.

I am having the same issue today, just opened a ticket to MS. I log into the OWA , turn off birthday calendar for shared users, go back to outlook and it throws an error when I click on the birthday calendar. Then it re appears, ... then I check back in OWA and the calendar is turned on again!
Driving me mad.
