The organisms that cannot produce their own food and are dependent on others to fulfil their nutritional requirements are called consumers. They are heterotrophic in nature. The organisms that only eat grass, fruits and vegetables are called herbivores. The animals that eat meat are called carnivores. The organisms that eat both vegetables and meat are called omnivores.
Wading birds are the kind of birds that are mostly found on the shores of ocean. Flamingos are birds that are primarily found in the continents of Africa, Asia and Europe. These birds feed on both plants and aquatic animals. Hence, they can be considered as omnivorous in nature.
