The Google contact Thanasis W has birthday: "2014-10-20"

Hm, that one is a bit tricky. I fixed a default value in e646874 (dev branch) and added additional logging for the contact data that has been sent.
I dont think this will fix it, but it may help to diagnose this further.
Can you try and paste your log again?
It will contain some details of the contact, please remove everything not related to the birthday 😊 🙏

After #25 was fixed, I took another look at this and actually Google does not recognize "2014-10-20" as a date, but changing it to "10/20/2014" instead solved the problem.

So this is an issue of bad data in, not a bug in GoogleMonicaSync. Closing it. 😊
