Owls are primarily carnivorous Birds of Prey that feed on small mammals, birds, and insects, making them secondary consumers rather than primary consumers. Primary consumers are typically herbivores that eat plants, such as rabbits or deer. In the food chain, owls occupy a higher trophic level as they rely on primary consumers for their diet. Thus, owls themselves do not fit the definition of primary consumers.
