Any animal that eats mainly fruit is classified as a frugivore. There are many bird and bat species that are frugivorous.
No, frugivores means fruit eaters. Bats eat fruit and insects.

fruit eater
Cassowaries are classified as frugivores, which means they eat fruit.
I have read that toucans are frugivores their diet consisting of fruit and berries.
About 70 percent of bats are insectivores. Most of the rest are frugivores, with a few species being carnivorous.
No not really they are mostly known as frugivores (fruit eaters) but technically speaking they are omnivores because they'll eat fruit and insects but they'll also eat bird eggs.
There are two distinct names given to these animals. Haemivores are the vampires of the natural kingdom preferring to suck or devour blood (haem) due to its rich vitamin and mineral content. For example the female mosquito is a haemivore to help absorb nutrients for egg production whilst the male is a nectar drinker known as a nectarivore. Nectarivores obtain high levels of natural glucose, sucrose and some cases fructose (not that disimilar from frugivores which eat fruit).
Herbivores are animals that eat plants. They are herbivorous animals. Humans are omnivores, because they eat meat as well as vegetable matter. People who eat mostly plants are usually called vegetarians. Herbivores (such as deer, elephants, horses) have teeth that are adapted to grind vegetable tissue. Many animals that eat fruit and leaves sometimes eat other parts of plants, for example roots and seeds. Usually, such animals cannot chew or digest meat. But some herbivorous animals will eat eggs and occasionally other animal protein. Some herbivores can be classified as "frugivores", because they eat mainly fruit; or "browsers", which eat mostly leaves. Animals that eat mostly grass are "grazing" animals. The diets of some herbivorous animals change with the seasons. In the temperate zones of the Earth, some seasons are hot and some are cold, so different plants are available at different times of the year.
The toucan normally eats berries, fruit and nuts.
Red ruffed lemurs are frugivores (eating mostly fruit).
