For a hawk to be considered a tertiary consumer in a food web, it must primarily feed on secondary consumers, such as snakes or small mammals, which in turn consume primary consumers like insects or herbivores. Additionally, the hawk's position in the food web must reflect its role as a top predator, indicating that it has few or no natural predators itself. This hierarchical structure is essential for classifying the hawk accurately within the ecosystem.
