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.
