Yes he can invert the pyramid

Explanation:

The pyramid of energy shows a graphical illustration of the amount of energy present at each trophic level.

In an ecosystem, the energy decreases as we move from producers to tertiary consumers higher up in the pyramid.
In this example, the insects are the primary consumers and the energy flows from them to the secondary consumers which are the bird.
The insects are abundant in population compared to the bird.
The energy accrued to the bird from feeding on the producers is higher when compared to that derived from the birds feeding on the primary consumers and on.
This sequence can be inverted in the reverse sequence.
This will give an inverted pyramid of energy.
Here, we can specifically the number of insect each bird feeds on.
It could also be in the form that the bird dies and some insects begins to feed on it for energy.
