How to tell when your Furby's birthday is
If you're like me, then you like developing overly complex backstories for your characters. One thing I like to do is give them birthdays. It can be a difficult process, but thankfully when it comes to Furbies some of the work is already done!
All Furbies have these little green stickers on the bottom of their boxes and inside their battery compartments, these are used by the factories and hold a lot of information such as their factory code and the day they were finished and ready to be shipped to stores (which I refer to as their birthday)
If you still have your Furby's box, look at the underside to see if there's a green sticker taped on it. If yours doesn't have a sticker for any reason, or if you don't have their original box, you can usually find another green sticker inside your Furby's battery compartment. Shown below is my Patriotic Furby Liberty's box, with the green sticker.
It's a bit hard to read due to the box being over twenty years old, but it's at least still legible. It says, "C015A1499A". The first string, "C015A", is the factory code for a WT Furby, but what we're focusing on is the second string, "1499A". This will be your Furby's birthday.
The first three numbers correspond to the day of the year (1-365, 366 for the year 2000) and the last number is the year itself (8, 9, 0, 1, 2; 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002 respectively). So according to this formula, Liberty's birthday is the 149th day of 1999. But what was the 149th day of 1999?
Go to epochconverter.com/days/*insert year here* (in this case 1999)
It will take you to a chart listing the date in the leftmost column and what day of the year it is in the second left column
Scroll down until you see the number that's on your sticker (1-365, 366 for the year 2000). That's your Furby's birthday! So for Liberty, her birthday is May 29th, 1999 ^^
Hopefully this guide helps you! If you want to give your Furby a different birthday then feel free to disregard this
