Actually they do. The zodiac ~~sign~~ constellation of a day correspond to the constellation over which the sun while be at noon. So you do have a zodiac ~~sign~~ constellation associated to your day of bird. But depending on how your culture group stars in constellations you might be from a different zodiac. If you want to follow a classical westerner map of the sky, they will be 13 of them.

Also, note that the zodiac signs won't cut the year in equal parts. Some constellations are just bigger than other and the sun path across the sky changes more or less quickly from a day to another depending on the time of the year.

The constellations are made up too so no they don't

That is not because something is made up that it does not exist. I made up this message hence it exists.
Cultures group stars together in what is called constellations, hence constellations exist.
