The penguin gets its name from the yellow stripes on its head. They live and breed on the sea shore of [[New Zealand]] and some also in the [[Antarctic]] islands in the south. They have a high pitched call which can be heard very clearly. Yellow-eyed penguins eat small to medium sized fish, red cod and [[squid]]. They make their nests out of twigs, grass and leaves, carefully formed into a bowl shape. The chicks take 39 to 51 days to hatch and both parents share keeping the eggs warm. ==Other websites== * http://www.siec.k12.in.us/west/proj/penguins/yellow.html {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120314165808/http://www.siec.k12.in.us/west/proj/penguins/yellow.html |date=2012-03-14 }} * http://www.doc.govt.nz/conservation/native-animals/birds/sea-and-shore-birds/penguins/yellow-eyed-penguin-hoiho/facts/ {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120914041643/http://www.doc.govt.nz/conservation/native-animals/birds/sea-and-shore-birds/penguins/yellow-eyed-penguin-hoiho/facts/ |date=2012-09-14 }} {{biology-stub}} [[Category:Penguins]] [[Category:Birds of New Zealand]]
