I have a lovely honeysuckle which flowered very well during the spring.
There are nice berries on it now. However a few days ago the leaves

help!
Just a point
16 years ago we bought a honeysuckle to put at the rear of our garden.
It now runs rampant and damned near uncontrollable over many parts of
the garden and others gardens too. Due, I suspect to the birds eating
the berries and crapping out the seeds.
So a suggestion might be to pick all the berries off and put them in
the rubbish bin.

And then you could put out expensive birdseed to compensate for cutting
off the food source, and have sunflowers all over your garden ;-)
