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.
Primary consumers eat primary producers(plant-eaters). Secondary consumers eat primary consumers (meat-eaters) Tertiary consumers eat secondary consumers. Quaternary consumers eat tertiary consumers.
Lions are secondary consumers and feed mostly on primary consumers such as zebras.

Well, hello there, friend! In the tropical rainforest, primary consumers are plant-eaters like insects and monkeys. Secondary consumers are animals that eat the primary consumers, such as snakes and birds. Tertiary consumers are at the top of the food chain and they eat the secondary consumers, like jaguars and eagles. Each one plays a vital role in keeping the delicate balance of the rainforest ecosystem. Isn't nature just amazing?
