Becareful
The Windmill Grass we have here looks good but it seems to be pretty unbending unlike the swamp grass.
Both dry and blow up against fences etc. One is fantastic the other not so good.
Check it out first as it my be fine because people from different areas call things by different names

That one was a mystery to me too. I just stick to my mix of lawn and seeding grasss, cut into mixed 10/40/cm lengths. It seems to work for the finches.
