Animal Parade Calendar of Birthdays and Festivals

This is the Calendar of Birthdays and Festivals I created for the Animal Parade General Guide.


Here is my preliminary Calendar of Birthdays and Festivals. The items listed with each Birthday are 'suggested easy gifts'. What this means is that they are items that you can obtain very easily even at the start of the game and if not the 'Most Favourite Gift', nonetheless a Birthday Gift that will be acknowledged happily and therefore will raise Friendship/Affection Levels as well as eliciting an acknowledgement that it is the Character's Birthday.

Note that you must have at least 10 Characters at 3 Hearts in order to begin the Purple Bell Quest. Remembering Birthdays is an excellent way to start.

Although the Birthdays of all Eligible Bachelors will be included on your Calendar if your Character is a Girl and similarly, the Birthdays of all Eligible Girls included if your Character is male, no other Birthdays ever are added, even when you give a Gift to some one on his/her Birthday.

The only Gifts that will be recognised AS Birthday Gifts by any Character are those items that meet with a response either of a 'burst of hearts' or a 'single heart'. The Gifts that are received with a burst of musical notes, while accepted happily by an individual, will not elicit any Birthday acknowledgement.
The dates of all Birthdays and Festivals are listed in this Calendar with a suggested Birthday Gift in brackets next to each Birthday. The Items may not be a ‘Most Favourite Gift’ but it will be a gift that is easy to obtain and one that is inexpensive and yet will raise Friendship and Love Levels. For each Season, all Crops and Flowers that can be grown have been listed as well as all Items found in the Wilds. A Fish section has been included for each Season, providing a list of those varieties of Fish that can be caught ONLY in that specific Season or during two Seasons at most. More detailed information about ALL varieties of Fish is provided in the Fishing section of the Guide as well as the Items Shipping List Guide. Where I have listed ‘Sea Urchin’ as a preferred Gift, it indicates for the most part that ANY raw shellfish collected at the shore would be acceptable, including Mussels, Oysters and Clams. Shellfish tends to be seasonal.
