It depends on the species.

The Fairy penguin, or Little penguin, which is found along some of Australia's southern shores, lives in burrows in the sand dunes along the shoreline when it is not out hunting in the sea during the day. These birds return every night to their burrows.

The Emperor penguin, on the other hand, has no fixed nesting site, while the Gentoo penguin is different again, making a nest on the ground out of stones, sticks, grass, feathers, or almost any materials it finds.

Galapoagos penguins nest in burrows or crevices in lava, no more than 50 feet from open water.

No penguin 'lives' in a nest -- some penguin eggs are hatched in nests where there are no predators, but eggs can be moved by the adults to preserve them until they are ready to hatch.

They don't, the mother lays the egg and then the father carries it around on top of his feet and in a brood pouch on his belly
