Various birds are omnivorous, with diets varying from berries and nectar to insects, worms, fish, and small rodents. Examples include cranes, cassowaries, chickens, crows and related corvids, kea, rallidae, and rheas.

Diet: Peregrine falcons are carnivores and hunt during the day (they are diurnal). They eat mostly birds, swooping down on their prey or simply overtaking them. They prey on sea birds, pigeons, waders, and other birds.

Falcons mostly consume meat and they do prefer fresh foods. They catch all of their prey life but may sometimes steal a fresh kill from other animals.

Rabbits are herbivores. This means that they have a plant-based diet and do not eat meat. Their diets include grasses, clover and some cruciferous plants, such as broccoli and Brussels sprouts.

True! Rabbits are herbivores, which means they eat only vegetables and plant-based foods. The primary foods in the domestic house rabbit’s diet are grass hays, fresh vegetables, and water. For more info on a house rabbit’s dietary needs, check out our Diet FAQ.

So in short, no, rabbits absolutely are not carnivores. The reason why is because such a diet would quickly kill them.

Do cats have to be carnivores? Unlike dogs and other omnivores, cats are true (so-called “obligate”) carnivores: They meet their nutritional needs by consuming other animals and have a higher protein requirement than many other mammals.

Raw food offered to cats should always be fresh. We recommend you choose only human-grade raw meat and raw meaty bones because some raw meat products marketed as pet food (pet meat/pet mince/pet rolls and bone products) contain preservatives to keep them looking fresh, but these can be detrimental to the cat’s health.
