Best Answer

It is an ordinal value.

-----

Here's one way to see this.

Suppose you start take birthday 1 January 2000 to be 1, birthday 2 January 2000 to be 2, ... , birthday 31 January 2000 to be 31, then birthday 1 February 2000 to be 32, and so on, number all of the birthdays until today, you will have a number of about 5104. If you need birthdays before 1 January 2000 you could use negative numbers.

Clearly these numbers are ordered and form an ordinal scale.

Does it quite fit either definition though? We say that the birthday where you turned one year old, your First birhday. But your first birthday was the one you were born on. So we kind of name the day you are one year old, "First birthday".
