Is an eagle consider a secondary consumer or tertiary consumer?

Depending on what it eats it can be either. If an eagle eats a rat that ate a crop then it is a secondary consumer. If an eagle eats a cat that ate a rat that ate a crop it's a tertiary consumer. The higher up you get in the chain, the lower energy yield you get from the food, as 90% is lost as heat and only 10% is passed on for every level. i.e. 100% crop -> 10% rat -> 1% cat -> 0.1% eagle. the eagle only receives 0.1% of the energy. DDT and other poisonous chemicals accumulate as you go higher up the chain also.
