Your ivy sure looks different than the English ivy I'm used to seeing. Very interesting plant and berries. Kind of sad that it is so poisonous to mammals.
I'd never thought of ivy as a food plant. (Which is fortunate since it's mildly poisonous to humans and toxic to other animals like dogs, cats and horses. Birds are OK with it, though.) Nor had I ever seen ivy berries before, so you learn something new every day.
In fact I rarely see ivy around here... oh, THAT's why. "English Ivy has been recognised as a serious environmental weed in several states of Australia". It exists here, I'm sure I've seen it occasionally, but in my corner of Oz it's likely to be on the business end of a weed whacker.
