Rearanging Birds

I got a new cage today, an approximately 5 ft flight cage. So I now have this flight, a 6 ft hand-built flight, two breeding cages and numerous other cages that aren't in use.

Most of my birds (with the exception of two Zebras) are in the 6 ft flight cage, and its a little overstocked, so I'd like to move some birds around. Also, though I have no bad aggression problems, some of my birds I know would be better suited to not be with some of their cage mates. So I wanted to ask everyone as to who I should put where between the 5 ft and 6 ft flights. I currently have:

4 Java Rice Finches (1 breeding pair and two, 4 moth old "chicks")
2 Indian Silverbills (male & female)
1 female Shaft-tail
1 male OC Waxbill
1 male Society
1 female Spice Finch
1 believed female Owl Finch
1 female Pin-tailed Whydah
2 male Zebra finches (which are in a separate small breeding cage as the one is old and nearly blind and the other lost two of his toes on one foot. The blind one likes the company of his cage mate, but his cage mate is plucking the back of his neck in over-zealous preening)

I know each bird has individual personalities, but who do you think I should put where?
