The yellow-eyed penguin often expresses their discomfort or hostility by leaning forward toward their opponent. They also often hunch their shoulders and scowl, gape and make disturbing harsh sounds or noises. They might also attack their opponent by pecking them, but actual contact with the opponent is hardly ever made. | |||

The yellow-eyed penguin might move to another nesting site, but they tend to move nearby their previous nesting site, so that means that it is very common of them to stay behind the same beach. They don't move nesting sites frequently, but they can move after they lived in the nest for about a year. | |||
