Natural foods that birds eat include insects, worms, berries, fruit, flower nectar, nuts, seeds, tree sap, buds of trees and shrubs, fish, small animals, other birds, and eggs.They even scavenge dead animals. You can get a clue what a bird eats by the type of beak or bill the bird has.or a look at different types of bird beak see Anatomy.
