Minnie the Humbolt was treated to lots of tasty fish on Monday (May 24) to mark the special occasion – while her keepers enjoyed fish-shaped biscuits for the festivities.
Most penguins of her kind only live for around 15 years, but Minnie – who stands out due to her blue armband and fashionable centre parting hairstyle – has long surpassed that age.
