The Birthday is the form_widget.

ex. in controller:

$form = $this->createFormBuilder($task)
        ->add('task', 'text')
        ->add('yearOfBirth', 'birthday')
        ->getForm();

This widget can be mapped to DateTime field

/**
 * @var date $yearOfBirth
 *
 * @ORM\Column(name="year_of_birth", type="datetime")
 * @Assert\DateTime()
 */
private $yearOfBirth;

Here you got reference to docs about this field: http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/forms/types/birthday.html
