It is the Hack&Dev source. You might need to go into Cydia under More Package Sources and add it.

To me these birthday apps which don’t have lockscreen popup alarm notifies are fairly useless. So only ibirthday from the old 1.1.X days was a worthwhile app but the developer seems a little unresponsive these days on their blog… So no updates are given on 2.x release.
I don’t know for people who sync their phone to windows but if you sync yours to a mac, I think using ical and using iCalBirthdays is a better option.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/icalbirthdays.html
Running this from Automator just sets up a birthday event in iCal which collects all your birthdays from your address book. It also allows you to set an alarm. (Which, you can configure the time yourself) There are also more functions like e-mail notifies…
Only down side is when you add another birthday (That is, in your contacts/addressbook) which was not on your original list, you will have to re-run this to update the Birthday event and re-sync.
