Saw this thread and had to respond since we have a special celebration for the whole flock. We don't know when anyone's actual hatchday is so we take January 1 and make it annual Bird Appreciation Day. We have been doing this for 4 years now. I invite my family and any friends that would like to participate so that everyone can interact with the birds. We have dinner, the birds get birdie bread and some new piece of equipment (large playstand, play gym, swing for the bird room) or toys for all. It's a blast.
When we got nOOdles last year in August, we traced his hatchday back to May 15 or so. This year we had a Birdday party for him and a friend's parrot, Knuckles the African Grey. I invited several bird friends that I met on the Bird Channel who live close enough to come over (we met Knuckles and her mom there too!) and we had lunch and pastries; the birds had birdie bread and everyone got presents. We had such a good time - I was exhausted by the time everyone left. I posted the pictures on Facebook and all the non-bird folks thought we were crazy!They don't know what they missed!
