Owls are primarily carnivorous Birds of Prey that feed on small mammals, birds, and insects, making them secondary consumers rather than primary consumers. Primary consumers are typically herbivores that eat plants, such as rabbits or deer. In the food chain, owls occupy a higher trophic level as they rely on primary consumers for their diet. Thus, owls themselves do not fit the definition of primary consumers.
No. Owls are not a Primary Consumer.

Owls are secondary consumers
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.
they aren't. owls are secondary consumers, which means that they eat producers
the owl is a meat consumer
In the food chain you provided, the primary consumer is the squirrel. The squirrel feeds on the oak tree, which is a producer. This positions the squirrel as the first consumer in the chain, while the owl and eagle are secondary and tertiary consumers, respectively, that prey on the squirrel.
