The birds return as soon as whoever is filling the birdbath moves away, usually. Letting water with chlorine in it sit there for birds invites problems for the birds. The amount already in tap water is more than enough.
I fill a pitcher with water from the filter on the fridge, and it sits out for a while until I pour it into the kettle. That also lets the chlorine off gas.
