Bird baths.

I suspect Martin is right, but it could also be that if the birds are expected to perch on the ceramic rim before dipping into the water, then it could be too hot if not in the shade.

We had a red ceramic one and it was very popular.  I'd suggest new is the problem.

a red ceramic one but the birds won't go anywhere near it.
Would it be the colour, that it is ceramic (slippery) or just that it is new?
