Generally ground-feeders, they eat fruits, seeds, roots, stems, leaves, nectar and fungi of other selected plants, and have been able to adapt to eating some introduced plants. However, although mostly herbivorous, they are actually classed as omnivores as insects commonly form part of their diet, and they have even been known to eat small reptiles.
