It has been suggested to be both omnivore and carnivore.  It has such a
strange beak that it is hard to tell *what* it ate.  It might even have
specialized in hard nuts (that is, it might have been herbivorous).

Mostly speculation.   Now that we know the eggs it is found associated with
are its own, we have no good clue beyond its beak shape.
