I wholeheartedly agree with Sean Gerety and Michelle Larsen that birth date is private data and should not be requested, unless absolutely legally required to do so to that degree of specificity. I personally use a made up birth date for these types of requests (still in same age range). I even taught my pre-teen son to protect his personal information when going on the web to sign up for game accounts by using a fake one (close to his actual age) . As mentioned above, providing age categories is a much better model.
