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.
