The conditions of the tail feather have no affect of their breeding abilities, but their housing will.... I doubt very much you'll get any birds to breed in that cage - not even finches in its current location.
Birds need light - sunlight - As far as I can see in your pictures they get none, and if if sunlight came into the room, the other cages on top would block it.
How long have you had your birds?

And in a small cage, the female is not likely getting enough exercise, which could result in egg-binding. Which can be lethal.
Edit: After viewing your pictures, I believe their cage is one the floor? It would be nice to get it up off the floor, as it is often drafty down there, so we don't want the birds to be chilled.
If the birds are motivated enough, they might breed in any conditions. But are you just wanting them to mate, or do you want healthy parents and babies? There's a lot that goes into breeding parrots, to have healthy birds. Thanks for coming to this site to find out more about breeding them.
Unfortunately, it is very hard to share everything we know since we cannot always think of everything you might need to know about breeding. Books are very helpful, and will supply information we might be forgetting. We can help a lot, but this board is a supplement, not the be-all and end-all of avian knowledge.

Melika i thank u so so much for ur reply...really i put that cage on the floor for transiaent period of 2 weeks as i prepar new closed place to them and to roseocollis ...is it better the new place is 2.5 meter *1 matere *2.5 meter but they still in that cage in that nwe place and i will raise them 1 meter from the floor and also get the nest at that period> waiting ur openion ..i read in some informational sites that size of the cage is not important than the type of food u give to ur parrot for example if u have very large cage and u give ur parrot fatty food he will burn this fats by flaying and moving in that large space ...aslo if u have small cage and u offer balanced food not only fatty the parrot can breed easly even the place is not large enough to flay and move here and there aslo writer said that he breed in diffirent sizes small and large one but the main point for him was the feeding process during breeding season>>what ur openion >>>thnx this is the site i get this information from

Here he states the sizes of his breeding cages - this is what he calls 'small' cages, compared to an aviary. You don't need a large aviary to breed IRNs.
"These are the breeder cages that I use:
2’ x 4’ x 4’ ------------------- 3’ x 4’ x 4’
4’ x 4’ x 4’ ------------------- 4’ x 4’ x 6’ "
in centimetres:
61cm x 122cm x 122cm - - - - - - - - - - - 91.5cm x 122cm x 122cm
122cm x 122cm x 122cm - - - - - - - - - - - 122cm x 122cm x 1830cm
It's a good site, but do some more research... You'll find your cage is too small, not just for breeding, but for housing the birds.
