How can I clean paint from a water dish for birds?

My bird table has a water dish in it but while painting the roof with gloss paint I managed to drip paint into it through a tiny gap in the wood. How can I clean paint from the terracotta dish with absolutely no chance of harming the birds?
I tried scrubbing the paint off but to little avail. I have some turpentine, which is the obvious choice when removing paint, but I was unsure if it was safe with birds drinking out of it.
Nice spelling Sean.

Acetone is pretty friendly and will not leave any residue. Turpentine is distlled from pine sap so is also pretty friendly. You say its terracotta so I’d try scraping with a putty knife. Doesn’t matter if it scrapes some of the clay off. That would just give terracotta more character.
