Reports say that his birthday is being celebrated with a big party at Pease’s Park in Austin, Texas. This has been a tradition ever since 1963.

The name Eeyore is actually used to signify the phrase “hee-haw,” which stands for the braying sound made by a donkey.

Eeyore’s birthday is usually celebrated on the last Saturday of April. According to Zimbio: “The tradition started when college kids decided to throw the party in honor of the depressed donkey as a way to celebrate spring. It stuck. The first event featured a trashcan full of lemonade, honey sandwiches, and a live donkey.”

So go out and celebrate the adorable donkey Eeyore’s birthday today!
