Coconut shells work great. If you make smaller holes in some only the smaller birds can use them and won't get crowded out by larger birds. I use this one for a peanutbutter-seed mix and get lots of takers. Others have small holes with no perches so the cardinals don't push the smaller kids away.
The oil from peanutbutter waterproofs the shell. I will rotate this one to regular seed this fall and start a new one to be "oiled" this fall.
