Birth Date generator
The Birth Date generator creates random dates of birth, usually in formats such as YYYY-MM-DD, MM/DD/YYYY, or DD/MM/YYYY, depending on locale requirements. It ensures the dates align with practical human age ranges, often configurable to match specific use cases such as generating dates for adults, children, or historical records.
