Between producer and secondary consumers very little energy is lost to heat and waste. More energy is lost by keeping the organism alive than is lost to the environment.

In an energy pyramid, the most energy is found at the producer level, which consists of autotrophic organisms like plants that convert sunlight into usable energy through photosynthesis. As you move up the pyramid to primary consumers, secondary consumers, and so on, energy is lost at each trophic level through metabolic processes, heat loss, and waste production.

Is a blue jay a primary consumer secondary consumer tertiary consumer or a scavenger decomposer?

Primary consumers eat plant matter, secondary consumers eat organisms that have fed from the plant-eaters and tertiary consumers are organisms that feed from secondary consumers. Scavengers and decomposers feed on dead animals and plant material, including all kind of food waste. Blue jays have a very varied diet and eat almost anything that could be considered as a food source. When they eat fruits, grains, or berries, they are a primary consumer. When they eat meat, including small invertebrates, they are secondary, or possibly tertiary consumers depending exactly what their food has eaten before being eaten by the blue jay. When they eat table scraps or other food waste they are scavengers.
