Please be aware that iCloud doesn't expose the birthday calendar via CalDAV. This app can sync only calendars you can see on icloud.com. To sync the birthday calendar use CardDAV-Sync to sync your contacts and then use an app like "Birthday adapter" to get the birthdays into your calendar (if your device can't do that on its own).
