Many birds are omnivores, as they will eat both insects and seeds. Some are carnivores (penguins, carrion eaters like buzzards, and raptors like hawks and eagles) and some species are strictly herbivores (cockatoo).
Omnivorous species include:
- Brolga
- Chicken
- Emu
- Goose
- Ibis
- Kiwi
- Magpie
- Moorhen
- Southern cassowary
- Swamphen
- Robin
There are a great many species of birds. As most birds eat both insects and seeds, they are considered omnivores.
Hawks, falcons, owls and similar are pretty much exclusively carnivores and predators, while swans, geese and ducks are equally dedicated herbivores. Other birds, like sparrows are less picky and will eat pretty much whatever they can find.
Some birds, like hummingbirds, eat only plant nectar. Others, like vultures, primarily eat carrion (rotten meat).
Penguins are strictly carnivorous, as no (or almost no) plants grow in the environment they inhabit. Penguins dine primarily on fish.
