I have never seen a bird in this birdbath which sits on a concrete patio. I have seen occasionally a community cat or two drinking from the birdbath. Perhaps I should have purchased it in a different color. UPDATE: 10/13/22 -- Finally, last several days birds flying in and out. Nice to watch from my great room floor to ceiling windows (my Ragdolls enjoy watching from the inside too). Yesterday, a community cat drinking from it too. LOL!
