Berries poisonous to birds?

A Solanum capsicastrum plant has self-seeded in my garden:



This has prompted several questions in my mind.

Is this plant poisonous to birds? I can only find incomplete and vague answers on the Internet.

Also, are there any other berries that are potentially poisonous to birds?

If there are, I was wondering if/how birds learn to avoid them in the wild.
