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.

neilcomwireI tried this solution and it does not work for me. I tried it twice. Every time I log back into the calendar in the browser, the box for "turn on birthday calendar" is mysteriously rechecked. Any additional suggestions? And thanks so much. -Barbara
