plants gain energy from the sun during photosynthesis, this energy is then passed on to insects as they consume the plants, then a bird will eat the insect and so on.

But energy is lost at each stage of consumption as movement, heat and in faeces. so in order for living things to get enough energy they must consume more. See a pyramid of Biomass for this process.
