The bramble type of blackberry doesn't like to climb, but dewberries will climb. I've had them trailing from the top of my 8-foot-high Rhododendron. But they don't seem to twine much. The one in my yard sends one shoot to the top then dangles multiple branches back down to the ground like a shower curtain.
Plants that are very attractive to birds and squirrels don't usually retain the berries after the leaves have dropped. Even grapes are quickly scavenged. Around here, grapes are pillaged by the raccoons the day before they are ready to pick. Hedera berries are a feast for cedar waxwings—they're gone in a week.
