how do I delete a read only calendar entry

I'm trying delete an apparent "read only" birthday calendar event and I'm getting a message about "only the calendar administrator and any delegates with permission...blah, blah, blah. I've tried how to "become a "calendar administrator" so I can delete a constantly occurring birthday reminder I do not want, but I have found nothing that will help me become this authoritative figure that can then possess these magical deleting privileges in my own calendar! Anybody been done this path and figured it out?

Many thanks.

If you would tell us where this calendar is housed then it may be possible to frame an answer

Hi, thanks. It's my own personal calendar on my desktop computer at home. By the way I'm logged into this computer as Systems Administrator.

The Birthdays calendar is generated automatically from the Contacts database. You can't modify it directly.

Surely there must be some way to control your own calendar (read only un-deletable entries) and contacts. Do you know how? Is it the worlds best kept secret?

If it is the Birthdays calendar then you control entries on it from the Contacts app.

If you enter a birthday on a contact card it will show a reminder in calendar.

It's not a secret at all. You can disable the Birthdays calendar in the Calendar preferences window, or you can delete the Birthday property from contacts whose birthdays you don't want to be reminded of.

Yep, sounds like I need to delete the contact and then all will be well. Thanks for the input.

So, the solution is to delete a contact just because you don't want to be notified (via Apple's connected calendar, that doesn't let you delete "Birthdays") of the contact's birthday every year?

And for those of us who have thousands of contacts whose birthdays we don't care to be notified about?  Should we manually delete or is there a button preset for deleting most of our contacts?
