The yellow-eyed penguin is found at the border of New Zealand, on islands in the south. They gather in colonies along the beaches and boulder fields. The yellow-eyed penguin is also found in other smaller islands other than the main island, such as Stewart, Auckland and the Campbell Islands. | The yellow-eyed penguin is found at the border of New Zealand, on islands in the south.

The yellow-eyed penguin prefers to live in nests in forests, they use shrubs or dense flax to make their nests. The yellow-eyed penguin is the least social and the most timid. The yellow-eyed penguin isolates themselves so that they avoid contact from both humans and other yellow-eyed penguin peers. They also stay in one place for most of the time, except when they are off hunting. <ref name=photovolcanica/> <ref>Murray, Sue.

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 often expresses their discomfort or hostility by leaning forward toward their opponent.

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. <ref name=photovolcanica/> | |||
