Looks like Purple Privets to me. Toxic if eaten.

You'd check the leaves to see if they look like grape leaves, right?

Except they’re invasive. The birds will eat them and spread them everywhere.

They look like grapes to me would have to see the leaves to be sure. If they are shaped like a maple leaf it’s grapes. If they’re shaped more like a cherry and waxy it’s privits and are inedible for humans.

The leaves are in the photos. These are not grapes. Grapes were my first thought also but the leaves are so different, it isn't even a possibility.

I’m sorry you are correct. I didn’t notice the leaves. Like I said if the leaves are not maple like shaped it’s not grapes. So 🤷‍♀️
