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.
