Happy 2nd / 3rd birthday

Hi teachers,

I just celebrated my niece's birthday. She is two years old.

Is it grammatical and natural to say "Happy second / third / forth birthday"?

Thanks

Hi Philip, hi Lousie T,

1. What is "Number Three"?

2. Suppose she was one year old. Do you say: "Happy first birthday" too?

Thank you.

Hi guys, is it also correct to use a phrase on her 2nd year birthday?

I saw a post saying, Hi, guys, please greet my nephew on his 3rd year birthday.

Your response is highly appreciated.
