I see where you get the Hawaian Goose idea, Anthony..... so if all three are water fowl, then my idea for the middle one being one of those fancy chickens Gail keeps is way out.....
I did used to have fancy ducks too - I had a pair of Bali ducks (called Dilly and Dally) which are the crested version of an Indian runner duck, sadly the female got run over and the male succumbed to a respiratory infection.  This is Dally.

a couple guesses

1.  Staphylea (bladdernut)
2.  Euonymus, many have look-alike fruits, I grow E. sachaliensis, which is fabulous when the "fruits" turn red and open to show orange seeds.
3.  don't know, but would not want to try climbing that tree :o
