Default fast growing shrub suggestions please

Can anyone suggest some fairly quick growing shrubs that will grow to
a decent size (6' or so) and also grow quite thick and not need too
much maintenance.
If it has bird-friendly berries or something then that would be even
better.
Don't want conifers as I don't like them.
The soil is pretty rich down there owing to loads of leaf mould from
big oak tree and it gets a bit wet in winter, it only gets sun in the
afternoons.
Thanks for any suggestions.


Where do you live and how about Viburnum tinus, Escallonia or Griselinia in
mild areas, Aucuba.
