Ideas On This Plant

[Millet]

It appeared from nowhere near my aviary, maybe it is from the bird seed, it does not attract bees but it has a nice small flower, it is a bit like a creeper of some kind.

Deadly nightshade?

Hard to tell, but it's possibly Woody Nightshade (or Bittersweet). It *could* be Deadly Nightshade, though it's nowhere near as common.

Bittersweet has red berries when ripe (Deadly Nightshade's are black) - but still poisonous if ingested!

It's a climber and member of the Solanaceae - if you think the flowers look similar to tomatoes/potatoes, then you'd be right as they are all related plants

Well i know where that is going

 

[thenovice]

Bittersweet (if that is the correct translation from dutch)

It's Bittersweet, flower is wrong for Nightshade.

Is it still poisonous , the last thing i want is the dogs or chooks eating any of it.

Mmmm woody/deadly they are very similar aren't they?

not common because it's name gets it the usual treatment of poisons!

Remember, it's only deadly when some idiot eats it!

Just as deadly to country folk, but they're usually better educated!

The berries are, I doubt the dogs will bother with it and it might be ok for hens but they should know.

Added:
Nightshade flowers are more tubular looking.

That and it's a bit more fussy about where it grows...

The hens will be ok me thinks , but the dog will eat onions (paterdale)
say no more, i will flatten it tomorrow just to be on the safe side.

No not really.

This is Solanum dulcamara, commonly known as woody nightshade or bittersweet.

Flowers in loose clusters (solitary in deadly nightshade)
Yellow anthers in conspicuous column
Flowers bright purple with down turned petals (dull purple or greenish and bell shaped in d.n.)
A clambering plant/ vine as described by OP. (d.n usually described as tall and stout).

Have you explained to him how they will upset his belly?

Double post

I have never purposely fed the loony onions, he has had access to them when the odd bit gets dropped or surplus salad has been slung out for the chooks , my other Dog (Collie x Lurcher) sneaks in the green house and nicks the tomatoes from the plants, another dog i had years ago( Russell type) used to sit and eat nettles while sat in the hide with me pigeon decoying.

Onions are poisonous for dogs. They cause haemolytic anaemia.

They sure are Erica but they would have too eat a fair amount to cause any damage, in most cases dogs just vomit them back up.
