Owls are carnivores. They eat only meat so they do not eat any producers.
An owl is a predator and so a consumer.
In a food web, Barn Owls would be considered a carnivore, and probably a secondary consumer. A producer further down the web would be any vegetation that small mammals like mice and voles feed on. In a the form of a food chain below, it would probably look something like this: Apex Predator: Great Horned Owl Secondary Consumer (Carnivore): Barn Owl Primary Consumer (Herbivore): Rabbit Primary Producer: Grass So in this example, the grass would be the producer in the Barn Owl's food chain.
Owls are secondary consumers.The producer - the grass and seeds.The primary consumer - the mice that eat the seeds.The secondary consumer - the owl that eats the mice.

The owl is a tertiary consumer in this food chain. It occupies a higher trophic level by preying on the mouse, which is a primary consumer that feeds on grass, a primary producer. This illustrates the flow of energy from producers to consumers in an ecosystem.
