    Hi all!
    I need some help indentifying some rather odd berries growing in my yard in NYC.

    Numbers 1 and 2 were intermingled growing up and along a chainlink fence.
    Number 3 was a single plant from the ground.

    I appreciate the help!

    Thank you for the fast reply!
    Also interesting to know that the only berries that grow near me could kill me as well.

    I suppose it makes sense since tons of birds flock to my yard and they seem to be the only ones capable of eating the berries.
