Can anyone help me identify these plants?

My mother bought these adorable untagged potted plants for me when my room was being redone. There are four of them. On of them I believe is a dracaena, but I am not sure. Please help! I need to know their species so that I can evaluate whether or not they are toxic for my birds.

Can anyone help me identify these plants?
plant= false aralia


tree= schefflera


dracaena is right, we call it a corn plant


vine= ivy
Reply:Partial answer: Your unknow tree is not a tree but is a scheffelera or aka umbrella plant. It can get quite large but will not make a tree. Your vine is a sweet potato vine. So much for now. Your dracena is correct. I am still workig on the first plant. It might be some sort of fern but I am looking. The other three are correct.
Reply:I think the 2nd picture could be an "Umbrella Plant". Haven't a clue about the others though.
Reply:You should have put this in the Botany section in Science and Mathematics. Of course they are more knowledgeable about plants than Landscapers, sorry to say. But thats their proffesion. Botanists = Botany = Theres your answer





Edit: People here might have answers, but you have better luck in the Botany section. Post it again over there.
Reply:ok the 1st 2 look like a dracnea and a schferrillla. the schef will get very big if planted outside so if u do plant it away from the house.The3rd looks like a ribbon plant and i believe the4th is aneedle point ivy.


I looked them up in my houseplants for modern living book.


I'm 99% sure these r ur plants or at least in those families.
Reply:The plants are the kind that need water
