Crows are classified as consumers, specifically as omnivores, because they feed on a variety of foods, including insects, fruits, and carrion. They can also act as scavengers by eating the remains of dead animals. However, they do not produce their own food like producers (plants) nor do they break down organic matter like decomposers (fungi and bacteria).

they are consumers
Yes, although crows eat a wide variety of food (they are omnivores), they would most accurately be called a secondary consumer. This is because they eat some primary consumers (herbivores).
A producer is usually green and plant like. A decomposer is usually bacteria and worm like animals. And crows eat a wide variety of foods, including: fruits, grains, nuts, acorns, snails, mussels, small birds, eggs, rabbits, mice. That sort of sounds like us. It would seem that they would fit in the same category as we do: consumers. Interesting thing is that we can and do eat crow from time to time.
scavenger
Bears, mosquito, crow
crow, vulture, sometimes turkies, wow how do you spell plural of turkey?
yes. it is :) they also help the process of decomposing, I can't remember the technical term for that though. ^-^
a scavenger is is the 2nd consumer in the food chain. It eats dead animals. Some examples of scavengers are vultures.A scavenger is a crow or a vulture.a lion
The crow is a trickster in many cultures, as well as a messenger between heaven and earth. Crows also gain a reputation for cleverness by close association with the Raven. Because it is a scavenger and feeds on carrion, crows are also associated with death.
