If you are searching for MAL users, you can find the users who were recently online, you can find users by their location, by their age and by their gender. Wouldn't it be nice if you also would be able to find users by their birthday?

I mean people who actually fill in their birthday on MAL might enjoy getting random happy-birthday-wishes from other users they didn't know before and when you're in a good mood it might be nice to wish some of your fellow anime watchers a happy birthday, not just only your friends if it's their birthday.

Also, if you're searching for a friend but you don't know this person's location or age it might be helpful if you could search for users by their birthday [as in just the month and the day, not especially the year sice you can fill in the age].

In short I think it would be nice if we could search for users by their birthday.

Ps, Warn me when I'm being stupid and when it turns out that this is already possible.
I like bad endings

lmao, that's a very specific request. And no I do not want to randomly wish some strangers 'a happy birthday'. Birthdays are nothing more than a normal day anyway. I am not even sure if people want it or not but my vote is a no.
I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons,
if you were you wouldn't be on MAL.

Extended families or lovers on MAL are a farce.

It's nice to wish someone but this suggestion seems kinda useless/pointless to me & would be a waste of developers time & effort.
