Why do most birds eat nuts berries insects nectar or meat but not grass and leaves?
Grass and leaves have a very low energy content; a bird couldn't eat enough grass and then still fly. Fruits, berries and seeds contain much more caloric content. Nectar is even higher in calories, but only tiny hummingbirds can subsist on nectar alone.
In order to get enough calories from grass, it takes a fairly large animal with a complex digestive system; cows and horses, for example.

Also, many plants attract insects that are in turn eaten by birds. ^^
