No, the carrion crow is not a primary consumer; it is a scavenger and a carnivorous bird that feeds primarily on the remains of dead animals, as well as small animals and insects. Primary consumers are typically herbivores that feed directly on producers, such as plants. In an ecological context, carrion crows occupy a higher trophic level as secondary or tertiary consumers due to their carnivorous diet.
