I bet Don is poring over his reference books right now, discovering all sorts 
of amazing events that happened on that day, and devising a unique way of 
tying them all together that relies on Donald's birthday being on that day!


Just to add to the confusion (my brain already hurts), here's another argument 
against Donald's birthday being on the day that "The Wise Little Hen" was 
released. The film did not come out of nowhere. Most likely, it started as a 
story idea created during a brainstorming session. At some point, someone 
would ask:

"And how should we call the duck? It should probably be something beginning 
with D".
"Daniel!"
"David!"
"Donald!"
"Yeah, Donald. This has a nice ring to it!"

I would argue that this is the point of Donald's conception. Then the 
discussion would go something like this:

"And how should Donald look like?"
"How about this?" (scribble scribble scribble)
"No, let's give him a longer neck." (scribble scribble scribble)
"Looks good! Now let's dress him. How about a huge bow-tie?" (scribble 
scribble scribble)
"Nah, too silly! How about a sailor suit?" (scribble scribble scribble)
"Perfect!"

Now *that* would be Donald's real birthday!
