No, skuas are not herbivores; they are primarily carnivorous birds. They typically feed on fish, seabirds, and scavenged food, often stealing from other birds. Their diet can include a variety of animal matter, including carrion, but they do not consume plant material. Thus, skuas are classified as predators rather than herbivores.
