I'm sorry to say that I don't find that cage suitable at all for Indian Ringnecks, let alone for breeding them.
Please look into other housing for your birds, and maybe put a couple of pairs of finches in that cage... Max 4 birds. I've heard finshes are really good breeders... You'll probably need to relocate the cage, so they get more light.
Also research breeding Ringnecks, as it requires a lot more than putting male and female together.

In my honest opinon this cage is not suitable for breeding ringnecks. I can hardly see it but what I do see it's way to small. If you can't afford a bigger cage then maybe you need to look into another hobby other then birds. Like Lene said you can't just put male and female together and expect nice healthy babies. Their diet has to be rich in calcium and other things. Your not ready to breed birds. Do more research!!

Just by looking at that, cage it can be seen that it is not large enough for any ringneck. You state the height at being 40 cm which equates to roughly 16 inches. The average length of an IRN is 14-17 inches. This barely leaves enough room for the tail feathers. I believe you mentioned in another topic that the tail feathers are missing/broken. This is because they do not have enough space to play and do the normal "birdie" things. If your intention is to breed these birds, I suggest you look for a MUCH larger cage... They will need the space away from each other and room to expand their wings and feathers. Broken feathers can lead to blood loss which can be very tragic.
My IRN's are in a cage that is 48 inches x 36 inches x 48 inches.

i am sorry but that is disgusting you should go to the nearest animal shelter and hand them in what kind of a twat are you they need to eat everyday and if you put a nest outside they will fly away give away your birds before they die you truely are either a major moron or get off on mistreating animals maybe you should try eating once a week see how you like it and what do you give them water once a week too you are truely an idiot sorry if i offend anyone but my gosh i am seeing red right now
no it is not suitable for irns, maybe its ok for rabbits
you need at least double in height, and more width , more perches in vertical potition, because now your birds cant jump or fly.
And dont put the cage in the floor, birds feel uncomfortable when they are low, put the cage ( no this, OTHER) in a table or somewhere higher ( at least 1m from the ground).
And the bars space is small.
Also your cage need toys and a calcium stone or cuttlefish.
here are 2 proper cages for irn:
Where do you live?

I am pretty new to owning an irn but I can clearly see that your birds don’t look very happy to have such a short cage I am shocked. I think you need a far taller one and much more light there are no toys or anything and only one perch I thought they need more than one and a variation of sizes to keep their feet healthy "The perches need to be sized different as well. Perches that are the same in diameter throughout the cage do not properly exercise the parrot’s feet.” I find your cage to be extremely cruel and I think you should get a far bigger one.
