No. Insects, though they often fly, are not birds. All birds by definition are warm-blooded, bi-pedal creatures and have an endoskeleton (a skeleton structure inside the body). In contrast to be classed an insect a creature must be cold-blooded, have six legs and an exoskeleton (a skeleton structure outside the body). As such insects are cannot be classed as birds.

Since insects are animals rather than plants, birds that eat insects are carnivores, not herbivores. There are also birds which eat insects and also eat plants; they are omnivores.
