a herbivore eats plants only. Birds eat more than plants. They eat plants, insects, and they allo contribute to the decomposition by eating on dead organisms.
This depends entirely upon the species.

Some are carnivores, such as eagles, hawks, vultures and fish-eating birds such as kingfishers and kookaburras.

Some are purely herbivores, such as parrots, lorikeets and finches.

Many more are omnivores: Emus and crows, for instance, eat smaller animals as well as grains (bread) and vegetation; some of the smaller, nectar-eating birds also eat insects; water birds and waders eat both water animals and plant matter. All of these are examples of birds being omnivorous.
