Swamp grass is good, just be careful with the coconut stuff its really strong and if a birds gets caught up in it
You could cut it up in smaller pieces of course.

I like to use a few different grasses. Swamp ,thick bladed usually from my seeding grasses and thin fine grasses. Another material which I throw in is the husk of corn. When I give fresh corn on the cob I tear the husk into strips and have seen it in many nests as the outer layer.
