Hi, what sized cage do you have available?
Also would noise be an issue? i.e you'd want a quieter species?

 

[M.R Otter]

it about one meter long and one meter high.Well noise and sound are not a problem at all.

In that case i guess it just comes down to preference, you could easily have say 4-5 of the smaller species like finches, canaries, Java sparrows etc.
or one or two lovebirds, budgies, cockatiels or smaller parakeets like Kakarikis (although these may benefit from being given time out of the cage)

I had two lovebirds, and I honestly could have killed them No-one thought to mention the noise off of them before I got them. Ended up rehoming them in an aviary with other lovebirds.

I think an African Grey would be awesome.

I personally don't think I'd choose a small bird with that size of tank available.

so should I get something else besides these finches?and what exactly should I get?what about a Greater hill mynah?or common mynah?

It totally depends on your preference and also how much time you can spend with the bird,

Mynahs, like parrots etc are incredibly intelligent little birds and require interaction whether that be from you or other birds,

You really should not base your choice on a forum. Research each birds individual needs and decide from what they need vs what you can provide.
