Variable oystercatchers eat several types of marine organisms. They mainly feed on organisms like earthworms, marine worms, crabs, and mollusks.
Variable Oystercatchers primarily feed on marine invertebrates such as mollusks, crustaceans, and worms. They use their long, sharp bills to pry open shells and probe into the sand for food. They may also feed on small fish and occasionally on plant matter.
