Solanum dulcamara I think.

All parts of plant are poisonous from what I've heard. Another weed that is not from North America. I would try to eradicate it. The plant can become quite large, like a couple meters, and spreads easily.

Thank you so much. I notice neither squirrel nor bird attempt to eat them. The vine is really messy but it is not on my property.

I have this stuff creeping up and through my privacy fence from the woods behind me. It even makes it way to climbing up some trees and is very hard to pull out without ripping branches and leaves off the trees. What a pain!
