It depends on the species. Most parrots are indeed herbivores, feeding on vegetation, grains, seeds, nuts, fruits and nectar. However, some species, such as the kakapo, are omnivores, because they will also eat insects and even small reptiles. The kea, another New Zealand species, has been known to attack sheep as well as the chicks of other birds.

List all omnivores?

dogs and cats are not truly omnivores, but actually carnivores, sure they may occasionally munch on some greenery, but their digestive system is designed to digest meat, not plants. Some omnivores include: gorillas (they eat leaves and some insects), humans, iguanas, bears ( they eat fish, berries, etc.). I'm sure that there are many more than my few examples, but I had to correct dogs and cats...that's just not an acceptable answer in my book. Hope this helps.
