Ostriches are primarily herbivores and are considered primary consumers because they feed mainly on plants, seeds, and fruits. They occupy a niche in the ecosystem where they convert plant matter into energy, which can then be passed on to higher trophic levels. While they may occasionally eat insects or small animals, their main diet classifies them as primary consumers.
