Month field should be integer
The “month” field in BibTeX entries should be an integer, according to section 2.3.10 in the BibLaTeX manual:

“The bibliography style converts the month [integer] to a language-dependent string as required.”
I would suggest to make this field a drop-down with thirteen options (one blank (default), twelve months) for consistency.If we want compatibility with BibTeX rather than assume people use BibLaTeX or Biber, the integers should instead be three-letter month abbreviations instead (without quoting braces), as explained in the same section of the BibLaTeX manual and the BibTeX manual:
