This bush gets small flowers on it that turn into a 4 lobed berry that eventually turns a dark pink/salmon color. I figure that the berries must be poisonous because they would be easy to pick.
Check out Spindle (Euonymus). If that's what it is, yes, it is poisonous. But the ease of picking the berries does not necessarily determine whether it is poisonous or not! Example pic: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Euonymus_europaeus_jfg.jpg
