Can you be more specific? What's a birthday cache? Do you have to find one on your birthday or in your birthday suit (we had one of those in my area).

I'm not sure what the challenge is asking for.

Traditionally birthday challenges are finding a cache on its publishing birthday.

 

Few examples from my finds:

 

MNTA has used Project-GC to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.

01-22 GC2MR32 Hill, not Kent, hidden 2011 found 2016 (age 5)

 

[MNTA](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=MNTA) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC4XAT2/66399 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.

I have found these birthday caches:

Alternate definition is on your geo birthday.

 

MNTA has used Project-GC to see if he/she qualified for this challenge and he/she did.

I joined geocaching.com on 2013-03-25. I found GC48CK6 Gaiser Park Cache on 2017-06-29 (hidden 2013-03-25)

If that is what your looking for, as a premium member your able to take a diameter search around a given location with a date placed filter.

You need to find a cache on the day it was published

[+Viajero Perdido]

That's still vague.

[+TriciaG]

Well, I doubt it means finding a cache on the actual day and year it was published, unless it specifically states that. But you can check the other people's logs and see if that's the case.

 

If it's asking you to find a cache on the same date, regardless of year, then look at your local caches and note the placed date. Find a cache on the same month/day as one of those caches were placed.

Placed date is generally not the same as Published date.

It would be more helpful if you posted the GC code of the challenge cache.
