A birthday is an annual event that marks the anniversary of an individual's birth. Humans particularly enjoy celebrating their birthdays as they usually get presents and a birthday party is usually thrown in their honor.
Carnelians do not celebrate birthdays; Hamlet was interested to learn of the custom on the USS Mumbai. (TOSS #10 "Cake")
Every year, Elizabeth Singh would light candles and pay homage to her children, Rahel and Esthappen, who were assimilated by the Borg at the Battle of Wolf 359. (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "Devil's Cube")
In 2373, three days before his birthday, USS Cantabrian Captain Noah Wrightson sacrificed himself to stop Samantha Delaney's temporal weapon from firing on Earth. (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "By All Means Necessary")
