Hi Maz.
I have a reasonably big outside aviary with various aussie and foreign birds; I've been into the birdkeeping game for only a couple of years.
My tips for a good bird for a mixed collection would be Emblemas or Orange-breasted waxbills.
The Emblemas are active, interested and beautiful, and I have fallen for the OB waxbills for similar reasons.
They are both quite robust, easy to keep and breed freely (though I have found that the Emblemas do much better with some livefood in the mix)

the OB looks a bit mutant in that shot, but I think it's just the angle.....

Welcome to the forum maz,
I have a large outside aviary 6x2x2 and I have a mixed collection of Australian finches I specialise in Australian finches and that is all I keep. I also have a few Australian parrots and doves.

Thanks Nathan
