The sound-symbol correspondence [qu] is pronounced differently in French and English.
[qu] appears in several French question words, e.g. 'quoi', 'qui', 'quand.'
When followed by a vowel, 'mon' changes from a nasal to an oral sound, e.g. 'mon anniversaire'.
'Joyeux anniversaire’ or 'Bon anniversaire' are common for happy birthday; in Quebec, Canada, there's also 'Bonne fête'.

'Mon' and 'anniversaire' are pronounced as two seperate words.

There is in fact a liaison between 'mon anniversaire' as 'anniversaire' starts with a vowel so we can hear the 'n' in 'mon'.

[qu] - pronounced as in 'question'
Quand - question word meaning 'when'
Mon, ma - possessive adjective meaning 'my' (masculine, feminine)
Ton, ta - possessive adjective meaning 'your' (masculine, feminine)
Liaison - pronouncing a usually silent final consonant when followed by a vowel, e.g. 'mon anniversaire'
