The question says it all.
I have hunted high & low and don't see a way, but, before I hack the template I thought that I would ask here.
Just to make it clear - I want to be able to add some text at the top of the datepicker (which is a popup, if that makes any difference) such as "When is your birthday?".
There are many ways to do this if you follow this topic: Can you override specific templates in AngularUI Bootstrap? but I will just limit to two, one of which is CSS.
Template overriding:
Plunker Demo
The default file for the popup file is template/datepicker/popup.html, you just need to copy the contents of the file and append new code to it. The new code then will be wrapped inside <script id="template/datepicker/popup.html" type="text/ng-template"> directive and placed within <head>
angular.module('ui.bootstrap.demo', ['ngAnimate', 'ui.bootstrap']);
angular.module('ui.bootstrap.demo').controller('DatepickerDemoCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.today = function() {
$scope.dt = new Date();
};
$scope.today();
$scope.clear = function() {
$scope.dt = null;
};
// Disable weekend selection
$scope.disabled = function(date, mode) {
return (mode === 'day' && (date.getDay() === 0 || date.getDay() === 6));
};
$scope.toggleMin = function() {
$scope.minDate = $scope.minDate ? null : new Date();
};
$scope.toggleMin();
$scope.maxDate = new Date(2020, 5, 22);
$scope.open = function($event) {
$scope.status.opened = true;
};
$scope.setDate = function(year, month, day) {
$scope.dt = new Date(year, month, day);
};
$scope.dateOptions = {
formatYear: 'yy',
startingDay: 1
};
$scope.formats = ['dd-MMMM-yyyy', 'yyyy/MM/dd', 'dd.MM.yyyy', 'shortDate'];
$scope.format = $scope.formats[0];
$scope.status = {
opened: false
};
var tomorrow = new Date();
tomorrow.setDate(tomorrow.getDate() + 1);
var afterTomorrow = new Date();
afterTomorrow.setDate(tomorrow.getDate() + 2);
$scope.events = [{
date: tomorrow,
status: 'full'
}, {
date: afterTomorrow,
status: 'partially'
}];
$scope.getDayClass = function(date, mode) {
if (mode === 'day') {
var dayToCheck = new Date(date).setHours(0, 0, 0, 0);
for (var i = 0; i < $scope.events.length; i++) {
var currentDay = new Date($scope.events[i].date).setHours(0, 0, 0, 0);
if (dayToCheck === currentDay) {
return $scope.events[i].status;
}
}
}
return '';
};
});
angular.module("template/alert/alert.html", []).run(["$templateCache",
function($templateCache) {
$templateCache.put("template/alert/alert.html",
" <div class='alert' ng-class='type && \"alert-\" + type'>\n" +
" <button ng-show='closeable' type='button' class='close' ng-click='close()'>Close</button>\n" +

This is a non-standard way but it doesn't disturb your template structure anyway.
Plunker Demo
:before pseudo element in CSS supports content property to create text. Since you don't need to add anything other than header text/title, this is a fitting solution. Check the style.css file in the Plunkr to edit the text.
