Change the Range of Year Values within Date Type to Accommodate Possible Birth Years Rails, Simple_Form, HTML

<%= simple_form_for(@model) do |f| %>
    <%= f.input birthday %>

    <div class="form-actions">
        <%= f.button :submit, "Submit" %>
    </div>
<% end %>

The default months and days work just fine, but the range of selection for years is too slim. Default only goes from 2010 - 2020. How do I change it so it ranges from, say, 1930 - current year?

 <%= simple_form_for(@model) do |f| %>
     <%= f.input :birthday, start_year: Date.today.year - 110, end_year: Date.today.year %>

     <div class="form-actions">
         <%= f.button :submit, "Submit" %>
     </div>
 <% end %>

This gives the possible year selection from current year to 110 years ago.
