I pick a couple of bull rushes and put them on the deck for the birds. Here are a couple of birds taking it.

Nice photos but sorta hard to see since they're not enlarging when you click on them.

OK, they are probably cattails, I don't know the differance. I just picked them from a local swampy area. Here is a bigger picture of the hummingbird.

They sure seem to like THAT!
Lorax's link had some other good suggestions.

I have pampas grass in the garden and put a couple of pieces on the deck to watch the birds take bits of it. Not always my favorite bird however.

When grooming my horses I saved shed hair and packed it into a suet cage. I never saw any birds take any, but they can help themselves to hair on the ground when the horses roll.

Cortaderia spp. may not be the best choice of nesting materials to offer birds. It is an extremely aggressive ornamental non-native tussock grass.

Another way to provide nesting materials for birds, especially in the winter.
