Is a cardinal a producer consumer or decomposer?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, a cardinal is definitely not a producer, consumer, or decomposer. It's a bird, not some kind of eco-friendly superhero. Cardinals are just out there chirping, looking pretty, and probably judging us humans for overcomplicating things.

Answer 2

A cardinal would be a consumer. A consumer cannot produce its own food, so it must feed on other consumers or producers in order to survive. In the cardinal's case, it would eat fruits/seeds and insects in order to survive.

Producer: makes its own food (ex. plants taking via photosynthesis)

Decomposer: Organism that feeds on dead matter or waste from living organisms (ex. bacteria, fungi, some insects)
