Not in all ecosystems. There are some species of snakes that eat birds.
What else can I help you with?
Can you give me ah sample of food chain?
A basic food chain starts with a primary producer and has a chain of primary, secondary, and tertiary predators. This would start with algae as the primary producer, minnows as the primary predator, sunfish as the secondary predator and pike as the tertiary predator.
Construct a diagram of a food webof least 4 animal with an the uppermost trophic level?
Here's one; There's a bug that's eaten by a frog that's eaten by a snake that's eaten by a hawk
Give an example of a food chain with 4 consumers and one producer?
Grass (Producer) -> Grasshopper (Primary consumer) -> Frog (Secondary consumer) -> Snake (Tertiary consumer) -> Hawk (Quaternary consumer)
Is this statement true or false All predators are secondary consumers while all prey are primary consumers Explain?
True. Any animal that eats a herbivore can be called a secondary consumer. The reason for this is because a herbivore consumes plants (producers), so the herbivore is known as a primary consumer. The secondary consumer would feed on the primary consumer, which is why it's called a secondary consumer, and the herbivore is called a primary consumer. So the order is - The plant is the producer, the herbivore (which eats plants) is the primary consumer, the animal that eats the herbivore (the primary consumer) is the secondary consumer, and the animal that eats the secondary consumer (the animal that eats the herbivore) is known as the tertiary consumer. If you want to go even farther, the animal that eats the tertiary consumer is known as the Quaternary consumer. An example would be a flower (the producer) that is fed upon by a grasshopper (the primary consumer). A rat or mouse (the secondary consumer) feeds on the grasshopper, and a snake (the tertiary consumer) feeds on the mouse/rat. Finally, a hawk (the quaternary consumer) feeds upon the snake. Thus completing the cycle. A secondary consumer can also be a primary consumer too (a herbivore), if it's able to feed on a herbivore as well as plants. Laura~ This is absoulotley true. I was asking this question too, thanks again.
Is a rat a primary consumers or secondary consumers?
A rat is considered a primary consumer because it mainly feeds on plants, seeds, fruits, and other primary producers. Secondary consumers typically prey on primary consumers, such as rats, making them part of the food chain as primary consumers.
Is a snake a primary consumer or secondary?
A Snake is a Secondary Consumer
Which organism is the secondary consumer in this food chain Aspen Rabbit Snake Hawk?
A rabbit is a primary consumer since it is a herbivor a secondary consumer would be an animal that eats the primary consumer like a fox.

What is the producer primary consumer secondary consumer tertiary consumer top predator grass eagle mouse snake kookaburra rabbit grasshopper?
producer = grass primary consumer = grasshopper, rabbit secondary consumer = mouse tertiary consumer = snake, kookaburra top predator = eagle
If a hawk eats a snake what role is the hawk?
Tertiary Consumer
Which organism is the primary consumer in the following food chain snake caterpillar leaf lizard?
The caterpillar is the primary consumer. If an organism eats plants, it is a primary consumer. If it eats other animals, it is a secondary or tertiary consumer.
Is a coral snake a primary consumer?
No. All snakes are secondary consumers.
If a mouse eats grass a snake eats the mouse and an owl eats the snake the snake is considered the?
I belive that is is the primary consumer.
What are the secondary consumers and primary consumers and producers in the Michigan wetlands?
A secondary consumer is a animal that eats a primary consumer. For example, a snake eating a mouse. The snake would be a secondary consumer because it eats a primary consumer, the mouse . The mouse is a primary consumer because it eats a producer which would be anything that makes its own food, mostly plants. I do not know of and producer that are in the Michigan wetlands, but some might be duckweed or even lily pads.
What is a snake a primary consumer?
Secondary consumer because it does not eat plants but a grasshopper is
Is a snapping turtle a secondary consumer?
Snakes are secondary consumers. If you think this through, it will be pretty clear. A primary consumer is an animal that eats plants. Snakes don't eat plants, so they can't be primary consumers. Snakes are either secondary or tertiary consumers. Snakes eat the following animals: mice, varied small rodents, birds, worms, small fish, small lizards, and in some cases, large mammals. If the snake you are using as your example eats small mammals (probably the most common case) then think about what the small mammal eats. Probably nuts, grains, etc. Plant material. So the small mammal is a primary consumer and the snake eats the primary consumer, so that makes a snake a secondary consumer. If the snake you are using eats something that eats other animals (say your snake eats birds or lizards that eats insects) then the snake may be a secondary or tertiary consumer based on if it is eaten. If the snake is eaten by an animal, it is secondary, if not, it is tertiary. ANIMAL ==> PLANTS = primary consumer SNAKE ==> SMALL MAMMAL ==> PLANTS = secondary consumer SNAKE ==> BIRD/LIZARD ==> INSECTS ==> PLANTS = tertiary consumer
Is a snake a decomposed producer or a consumer?
A snake is a consumer.
