Can I ask what the difference between birthday and birth date is in Turkish? I use them interchangeably in English

I do not know for sure but I guess birth date is more formal .. you can be asked about your birth date officially in the court house or police station.. it make a bit more sense to be date not day!

Kinda what Rania says, they're not really interchangeable in English. I'd ask a girl in a bar her birthday, but it would be creepy to ask her birth date (or more commonly "date of birth"). If she came into my work and I needed her details it would be the other way round :)

Boo, this is Duolingo, the land of weird sentences. Have you met Duo Baykuşu, King of this Land, speaker of nonsense?

This is not a weird sentence/phrase. "Date of Birth" is "Doğum Tarihi".
You can see this on a Turkish Passports/ID cards, on Vikipedi (Turkish Wikipedia), or on any Turkish forms that you'd fill out, etc.
Of all the sentences/phrases on Duo, this is probably one of the most useful :-)
