Hedera Helix Goldheart

Hello, I have just had the fence done in my garden & at the bottom Its looking rather bare, I am wanting a good hardy, fast growing climbing plant, which will also be good for birds. I am leaning towards the HEDERA HELIX GOLDHEART or the HONEYSUCKLE GOLDFLAME. Are these good for Birds??

Thanks.
Sean.

I think they're both good - ivy is great for roosting, nesting and berries, and honeysuckle is good for berries too (and great for some bumblebees and moths). I've just planted a few ivy(s) and plan on a lot more in other parts of the garden to supplement some on a shared boundary that sometimes gets knocked back by a neighbour spraying.
