As far as I've seen all animals that take fresh meat bait also eat spoiled meat, and birds that eat berries also eat spoiled berries. However, spoiled items on the ground disappear a lot faster than things in traps, so I suspect the trapping skill if both the making of the trap and the setting of the trap (plus any rituals used) affect the probability of an animal taking the bait.
I've seen animals circling traps on quite a few occasions, and I guess traps provide a deterrence factor as per the above to work against the attraction of the bait. However, picking all the fresh berries in an area seems to increase the chance of getting birds in traps baited with that kind of berries, so there might be a supply-and-demand thing as well.
