Herbivorous birds are a diverse group of birds that primarily eat plants, such as seeds, fruit, and nectar. Some examples of herbivorous birds include: 

Ducks, geese, and swans

These birds are part of the Anseriformes order, and many are mainly herbivorous. 


Ostriches

These birds can have diets that are over 99% herbivorous. 


Parrots

Depending on the species, parrots can be herbivores or omnivores. Their primary diet is usually fruits, seeds, nuts, and vegetation. 


Pigeons

Although wild pigeons are herbivores, they may eat insects, spiders, and lizards if they are hungry. 

Herbivory is rare among birds, and is thought to have evolved primarily in large, flightless birds. Herbivorous birds are important pollinators and seed dispersers. They can also be found in a variety of sizes, from the bee hummingbird to the common ostrich. 

Birds can be herbivores, omnivores, or carnivores, depending on the species. For example, chickens and crows are omnivores that eat berries, nectar, insects, small fishes, and rodents.
