We might like this unseasonably warm weather — but the penguins at the Calgary Zoo don't.
The zoo announced it's cancelling the final few days of the penguin walk because it's too warm outside for the birds.
"We have made a decision in the birds' best interest that the Penguin Walks will be cancelled for the season," the zoo said on its website.

This year, king penguin chick Nero took centre stage during the penguin walks. The fluffy and awkward chick was the first king penguin born at the Calgary Zoo.
The walk was expected to continue through until Sunday.
