The owl is a tertiary consumer in this food chain. It occupies a higher trophic level by preying on the mouse, which is a primary consumer that feeds on grass, a primary producer. This illustrates the flow of energy from producers to consumers in an ecosystem.
A lamb is not a tertiary consumer. It is a secondary consumer.
Hawks can be either secondary or tertiary consumers, depending on the organism it eats at any particular time. If it eats an herbivore such as a mouse, then it is a secondary consumer. If it eats another carnivore such as a snake, then it is a tertiary consumer.
In the food chain consisting of an oak tree, squirrel, owl, and eagle, the primary consumer is the squirrel. It feeds on the oak tree, which is the producer in this chain. The owl and eagle are secondary and tertiary consumers, respectively, as they prey on the squirrel.
Well if you think about it this way (follow the OWL): a grasshopper eats grass and and a frog eats the grasshopper and the OWL eats the frog; in this situation the OWL is the tertiary consumer. In a different situation (follow the OWL): a mouse eats grass and an OWL eats the mouse; here, the OWL is the secondary consumer. You see, it all depends on the situation. Hope that helps :)
It's a Tertiary consumer. (:
