I want to transplant my japanese skimmia (two males, two females) to make room for my new edgeworthia chrysantha because it's the best location with filtered sun under a large cherry tree in a fenced backyard.

I want to transplant the skimmia under a large crabapple tree in the unfenced front yard, and I understand that deer won't eat skimmia. Thousands of birds hang out in the crab apple tree, however, including blue birds and golden finch. I am worried that they will eat the poisonous skimmia berries. Does anyone know if birds eat the berries?
