I'd check this one, they are poisonous to cats . My old downstairs neighbor grew them up to our porch, my cat vomited horribly. I *think* birds aren't supposed to eat them either, and cooped birds do eat things they normally would not. As in my catnip they aren't supposed to have either. No puking, but possibly some pretty messed up birds!
I am so glad you reminded me about this. The lady at Flowerland told me that only the blue ones were poisonous, but I meant to check up on it when I got home and forgot. They are Ipomoea coccinea and evidently all of the plant is poisonous. I will be yanking them out for the sake of my chickens and 3 & 5 year olds. Does anyone have suggestions of a climbing vine (non-toxic) annual that will grow quickly in full-sun, hot sandy poor soil? I want something along the back of the run to help with the heat but there is a line above so I can't plant any trees.
