I'm curious about the frequency of various mini-pets. I would like to see if people will respond to this thread with the type of mini-pet they received as a birthday present. I will periodically compile and hopefully we get enough responses to make some sort of statistical stab. It will probably take at least a couple of hundred responses to be meaningful, though.
Please, only post those that you yourself received as a birthday present, those that are bought from other players will mess things up. And obviously, Kuunavang is not a random one, so please don't include. If you got multiple presents, then by all means, post both.
## EDIT- Sept 18- 709 data points-
Thanks to all for the 5 star rating. I haven't updated all summer, but am back at it. Just a reminder that Kuuna doesn't get counted because he is not a random present. Also, please only include presents you opened yourself. There was one post here with too many rares to credit, and that was excluded.
Devourer - 62 (8.74%)
Necrid Horseman - 64 (9.03%)
Jade Armor - 66 (9.31%)
Seige Turtle - 65 (9.17%)
Hydra - 60 (8.46%)
Troll - 74 (10.44%)
Temple Guardian - 70 (9.87%)
Fungal Wallow - 70 (9.87%)
Kirin - 30 (4.23%)
Charr Shaman - 42 (5.92%)
Burning Titan- 49 (6.91%)
Shiro - 21 (2.96%)
Rurik - 24 (3.39%)
Bone Dragon - 12 (1.69%)
My third was a troll to match my second. The only one I didn't want to get. Such is luck!

I also added in my own second present- a troll.

I started with my Burning Titan.

Just the one pet for me:
Warrior --> Shiro
Amusingly, I hadn't signed on my PvE character in months. PvP characters took precedence. It was by chance that I decided to check the inventory, noticing and opening this odd parcel, before swiftly deleting the character =[

Mini pets are selected totally at random when you open your 'Gift'
the "white" ones have the same chance as each other, the chance then decreses as you go from white, to blue, to purple, to gold, and then uniques = Green..
Below you will find them listed under thier colour, with the Chance Percentage out of 100%
Whites: (x8) (72% chance to get White)
Fungal Wallow (9% Chance)
Hydra (9% Chance)
Jade Armor (9% Chance)
Jungle Troll (9% Chance)
Necrid Horseman (9% Chance)
Siege Turtle (9% Chance)
Temple Guardian (9% Chance)
Whiptail Devourer (9% Chance)
Purples: (x3) (18% chance to get Purple)
Burning Titan (6% Chance)
Charr Shaman (6% Chance)
Kirin (6% Chance)
Golds: (x2) (8% chance to get Gold)
Shiro (4% Chance)
Rurik (4% Chance)
Green: (x2) (1 Unique for each chapter) (2% chance to get Green)
Bone Dragon (Prophecies) (2% Chance)
Kuunavang (Factions)
There's 15 -- you can only get Kuunavang by getting the Factions Collectors edition, so that makes 14 possible for ALL Phrophecies Charas.
since all the percentages add up to 100% - that means you are Guaranteed to get a mini pet for your birthday... But above is an indication at what chance you have of getting each one
Have fun...

The only two I've opened so far are:
Jungle Troll -- he growls!
Charr Shaman -- so cute and cuddly and so very, very Guild Wars!
Miniature Kuunivang -- beautiful and so graceful accompanying me in my travels!
I love the miniatures and I can't wait to see if we have more in the future.
