startDate is for the earliest date you can select. As @seth-mcclaine suggested, adding '-21y' works:

$('#date_of_birth').datepicker({
   autoclose: true,
   startDate: '-21y',
   format: 'dd/mm/yyyy'
});

Do you mean to use defaultViewDate instead? Ex:

$("#date").datepicker({ 
        autoclose: true,
        defaultViewDate: {
            month: '04',            
            day:'15',
            year: '2000'
        },
        format: 'dd/mm/yyyy' 
});

I used jQuery 1.11.0 and Bootstrap 3.3.1 to get this working.

Looking at the documentation here:

https://bootstrap-datepicker.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

And the following example: 

$('.datepicker').datepicker({
    format: 'mm/dd/yyyy',
    startDate: '-3d'
})

I would expect you to be able to do the following:

$('#date_of_birth').datepicker({
   autoclose: true,
   startDate: '-21y', //or '-21Y'
   format: 'dd/mm/yyyy'
});
