Using views and calendar to show dates and birthdays in a SINGLE calendar

So basically, I have some entities with dates, and I installed views and calendar to show these dates in a nice calendar.

But then I decided to add a birthday field to my user entity. And I'd like to get that in my calendar which already is showing the date fields.

I'm using the birthday module for showing birthdays.

Basically my problem is, and this has been an issue for me on and off for the past few months, is to find the right way to do this. If I do it with the birthdays module and date fields, I can't seem to get them in the same calendar.

One other way would be by not using the birthday module and just use regular date fields on my user. But that sends me on a path of difficult date repeat rules, which really sounds as unnecessary complexity. Furthermore, when I tried it a while ago, you'd actually have to set the amount of repeats you want: I don't know beforehand when somebody doesn't need the date repeat anymore ( = dies ;) ).

Any help would be appreciated!
