We have a  number of well-used bird-baths, mostly terra cotta.  Each has a couple of smallish rough rocks, or a stick, to make sure birds and other fauna can climb out.  Occasionally other people re-fill the baths and take out the 'untidy' rocks or stick, so they have to be replaced.  Presence of nearby vegetation is very important, so birds can check surroundings before diving in.

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?
