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.

Hawks can be either secondary or tertiary consumers, depending on the organism it eats at any particular time. If it eats an herbivore such as a mouse, then it is a secondary consumer. If it eats another carnivore such as a snake, then it is a tertiary consumer.
An owl is not a producer, it is a consumer, and it is a secondary consumer because it feeds on primary consumers.
It is a secondary consumer, it eats rodents and insects which are mostly primary consumers.
Owls are secondary consumers
An owl is a secondary consumer because it consumes animals. If it ate grass it would be a primary consumer
the owl is a meat consumer
In the food chain you provided, the primary consumer is the squirrel. The squirrel feeds on the oak tree, which is a producer. This positions the squirrel as the first consumer in the chain, while the owl and eagle are secondary and tertiary consumers, respectively, that prey on the squirrel.
they aren't. owls are secondary consumers, which means that they eat producers
The 3 types of consumers are: primary consumer, secondary consumer, and tertiary consumer. A primary consumer, like a rabbit, eats a primary producer, like grass. A secondary consumer, like a fox, eats a primary consumer, which is the rabbit. A tertiary consumer, like a great gray owl, eats the secondary consumer, which is the fox.
Well if you think about it this way (follow the OWL): a grasshopper eats grass and and a frog eats the grasshopper and the OWL eats the frog; in this situation the OWL is the tertiary consumer. In a different situation (follow the OWL): a mouse eats grass and an OWL eats the mouse; here, the OWL is the secondary consumer. You see, it all depends on the situation. Hope that helps :)
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.
