I have a large tree in my yard, The birds do eat the berries.I think they are the same as "Hackberry". The tree is good shade but most of the leaves are afflicted with a gall. I think that is also associated with a black gnat that emerges in the fall and gets all over any laundry that is outside. The tree also sends up numerous suckers where ever the roots are near the surface.
