If you open a Contact record in your default Contacts folder and add a
birthday or anniversary, then save and close the contact record, Outlook
will add the event to the default Calendar automatically.

Managment ) i tried it and still not able to get B-day in the cal. any
suggestions?

Outlook uses the default contacts folder to create connections between contacts and activities, including birthdays. Is there some reason you felt the need to create a second contacts folder rather than use categories to separate your contacts?
