We've had the most success with thistle seed in fabric feeder bags. The bags and seed is commonly available. Thistle seed attracts finches, active little birds gold/black or brown/red. They are fun to watch.
When we had wooden feeders, they drew some nice songbirds, but squirrels seemed to find a way to get to the feeders, damage them and scatter the seeds on the ground. That's how you attract the squirrels which don't have the cute fuzzy tails.
