No, a Mallard is not a primary consumer; it is classified as a secondary consumer. Mallards are omnivorous ducks that primarily feed on aquatic plants, insects, and small fish. While they do consume plant material, which could be considered a primary consumer's food source, their role in the food chain is that of a predator, feeding on various organisms. Thus, they occupy a higher trophic level than primary consumers.
