Home›Birds›Diet›Detritivore or ScavengerBrowse ByDetritivore or ScavengerDiet groups species by what they mainly eat: herbivores that feed on plants, carnivores that feed on other animals, omnivores that eat both, and narrower feeding styles such as insectivores, piscivores, filter feeders, detritivores and scavengers, and parasitic species that live on or in a host. A species is placed by its own typical adult feeding behavior as described on its page, not by an occasional or unusual meal.FactsDetritivore or ScavengerSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonReproductive ModeWell-attestedOviparous (Egg-Laying) 1Detritivore or ScavengerFilter Results12 entriesCommon GroupAllBirds Of Prey (Raptors) (7)Gulls, Terns And Auks (3)Herons, Egrets And Allies (1)Penguins And Seabirds (1)Everyday GroupAllBirds Of Prey (Raptors) (7)Gulls, Terns And Auks (3)Herons, Egrets And Allies (1)Penguins And Seabirds (1)HabitatAllAlpine (1)Chaparral (1)Desert (2)Estuary (1)Grassland (3)Lake (5)Mangrove Forest (1)Riparian Zone (1)River (2)Temperate Forest (2)Tropical Rainforest (1)Tundra (1)Wetlands (1)Xeric Shrubland (1)Where It LivesAllAfrica (3)Argentina (1)Australasia (1)Australia (1)Belgium (7)Belize (1)Bolivia (1)Brazil (2)Canada (1)Colombia (5)Costa Rica (1)Denmark (4)Djibouti (1)Ecuador (5)El Salvador (1)Eritrea (1)Estonia (1)France (3)Guatemala (1)Guyana (1)Honduras (1)Iceland (1)Ireland (2)Kenya (1)Latvia (1)Luxembourg (1)Mexico (1)Netherlands (3)New Zealand (1)Nicaragua (1)North America (5)Norway (12)Panama (1)Paraguay (1)Peru (1)Poland (4)Russia (1)South America (3)South Asia (2)Spain (5)Sweden (3)Tanzania (1)Ukraine (2)United Kingdom (6)United States (4)Uruguay (1)Venezuela (4)Conservation StatusAllCritically Endangered (1)Least Concern (10)Vulnerable (1)System (Realm)AllFreshwater (5)Marine (5)Terrestrial (12)Living or ExtinctAllYes (12)Relationship to PeopleAllAgricultural or Structural Pest (2)Ecotourism and Research (2)Hunted or Fished (2)Kept as Pets (1)Natural Pest Control (1)Source of Fibre (1)CITES AppendixAllAppendix I (2)Appendix II (2)Appendix III (1)Not Listed (8)NatureServe RankAllG1 Critically Imperiled (1)G5 Secure (3)EcosystemAllAmazon Rainforest (1)California Chaparral (1)Doñana (1)Moorland (1)Okavango Delta (1)Simpson Desert (1)Sonoran Desert (1)Yellowstone (1)TaxonomyAllAccipitridae (1)Accipitriformes (2)Aves (4)Cathartidae (1)Laridae (1)Larus (2)Pelecanus (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 12Andean CondorDetritivore or ScavengerAustralian pelicanDetritivore or ScavengerBald EagleDetritivore or ScavengerBrown-headed gullDetritivore or ScavengerCalifornia CondorDetritivore or ScavengerEuropean herring gullDetritivore or ScavengerGreat black-backed gullDetritivore or ScavengerGriffon VultureDetritivore or ScavengerKing VultureDetritivore or ScavengerMarabou StorkDetritivore or ScavengerRed Kite (Milvus milvus)Detritivore or ScavengerTurkey VultureDetritivore or ScavengerSources1.
