Home›Birds›Diet›HerbivoreBrowse ByHerbivoreDiet 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.FactsHerbivoreSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonReproductive ModeWell-attestedOviparous (Egg-Laying) 1HerbivoreFilter Results63 entriesCommon GroupAllOther Birds (19)Parrots (7)Passerines (Songbirds) (12)Pigeons And Doves (11)Ratites And Flightless Birds (1)Waterfowl (13)Everyday GroupAllOther Birds (19)Parrots (7)Passerines (Songbirds) (12)Pigeons And Doves (11)Ratites And Flightless Birds (1)Waterfowl (13)HabitatAllBog (4)Boreal Forest (4)Chaparral (5)Desert (5)Estuary (2)Flooded Grassland and Savanna (1)Freshwater Swamp Forest (1)Grassland (10)Lake (7)Mangrove Forest (1)Riparian Zone (4)River (6)Savanna (3)Steppe (2)Temperate Forest (3)Temperate Rainforest (1)Tropical Rainforest (6)Tundra (6)Wetlands (8)Xeric Shrubland (2)Where It LivesAllAfghanistan (8)Africa (17)Albania (8)Algeria (3)Andorra (5)Angola (2)Antigua and Barbuda (3)Argentina (12)Armenia (7)Australasia (6)Australia (25)Austria (15)Azerbaijan (7)Bahamas (6)Bahrain (8)Bangladesh (5)Barbados (6)Belarus (13)Belgium (38)Belize (4)Benin (5)Bhutan (5)Bolivia (9)Bosnia and Herzegovina (8)Botswana (4)Brazil (12)Brunei (3)Bulgaria (13)Burkina Faso (3)Burundi (2)Cabo Verde (2)Canada (16)Central African Republic (2)Chile (9)China (11)Colombia (19)Costa Rica (5)Croatia (7)Cuba (4)Cyprus (10)Czechia (13)Democratic Republic of the Congo (3)Denmark (31)Djibouti (2)Dominican Republic (4)Ecuador (15)Egypt (3)Eritrea (2)Estonia (10)Finland (10)France (16)Georgia (4)Germany (11)Greece (8)Hungary (7)Iceland (7)India (6)Indonesia (2)Iran (6)Iraq (2)Ireland (8)Israel (7)Italy (9)Japan (5)Kazakhstan (4)Kenya (2)Kuwait (2)Kyrgyzstan (3)Latvia (4)Lithuania (5)Luxembourg (10)Madagascar (2)Mauritius (7)Moldova (3)Mongolia (4)Nepal (3)Netherlands (17)New Zealand (7)Nigeria (4)North America (36)Norway (49)Peru (4)Poland (9)Portugal (4)Romania (4)Russia (10)Serbia (4)Slovenia (4)South Africa (3)South America (5)South Asia (25)South Korea (3)Spain (25)Sweden (18)Switzerland (12)Taiwan (6)Ukraine (14)United Arab Emirates (21)United Kingdom (21)United States (21)Showing the 100 most common of 138 options.Conservation StatusAllCritically Endangered (1)Endangered (2)Least Concern (52)Near Threatened (5)Vulnerable (2)System (Realm)AllFreshwater (13)Marine (6)Terrestrial (59)Terrestrial and Marine (1)Living or ExtinctAllYes (63)ThreatsAllBiological Resource Use (1)Relationship to PeopleAllAgricultural or Structural Pest (10)Disease Vector (2)Domesticated (4)Ecotourism and Research (3)Farmed or Commercially Raised (2)Hunted or Fished (15)Invasive or Introduced Species (11)Kept as Pets (5)Pollinator (3)CITES AppendixAllAppendix I (6)Appendix II (12)Appendix III (4)Not Listed (41)NatureServe RankAllG4 Apparently Secure (1)G5 Secure (29)EcosystemAllAmazon Rainforest (2)Arctic Ocean (1)Arctic Tundra (2)Caspian Sea (4)Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (1)Danube Delta (1)Eastern Himalayas (1)Everglades (1)Fiordland (1)Great Lakes (2)Great Plains (3)Lake Victoria (1)Mediterranean Basin (1)Moorland (2)Prairie Pothole Region (1)Sahara Desert (1)Sahel (1)Svalbard (2)Wadden Sea (1)TaxonomyAllAnas (2)Anatidae (8)Anser (1)Anseriformes (2)Bombycillidae (1)Cacatuidae (1)Carduelis (1)Columbidae (8)Columbiformes (2)Emberizidae (2)Fringillidae (2)Galliformes (11)Gruidae (1)Gruiformes (1)Loxia (1)Meliphagidae (1)Opisthocomiformes (1)Passeriformes (4)Phoenicopteridae (1)Psittacidae (1)Psittaciformes (5)Pterocliformes (1)Struthioniformes (1)Trochilidae (4)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 13Stock doveHerbivoreSulphur-Crested CockatooHerbivoreTaiga bean gooseHerbivoreTrochilus PolytmusHerbivoreTūīHerbivoreTundra swanHerbivoreVictoria Crowned PigeonHerbivoreWhite-tailed ptarmiganHerbivoreWhite-vented VioletearHerbivoreWhooper Swan (Cygnus cygnus)HerbivoreWild TurkeyHerbivoreWood Duck (Aix sponsa)HerbivoreYellowhammerHerbivoreShowing 51 to 63 of 63, page 2 of 2.← Previous12Sources1.
